Clacks Tracker - GNU Terry Pratchett for Chrome Download

Clacks Tracker - GNU Terry Pratchett chrome extension is GNU Terry Pratchett. Shows user when 'Clacks-Overhead' appears in HTTP headers, and keeps a list of the sites..
 A mod of the fantastic chrome-clacks - https://github.com/newfolder0/chrome-clacks by Peter Bell et al. that also keeps a list of the sites discovered, and uses an icon that I prefer. 

This is a tribute to Sir Terry Pratchett, but if Ive inadvertently infringed on anyones copyright, Ill happily take this down.

WHY I WROTE IT:
Im obviously a bit of a Pratchett fan, so naturally I loved the idea of a Chrome extension to highlight pages including the 'X-Clacks-Overhead' HTTP header. Unfortunately, Im also really picky, and I like to tinker, so I couldnt leave the existing extension alone. This version shows an icon of Terry Pratchett when the site contains the header, but also logs the hostname to sync storage, so that when you click on the icon, it shows you all the places that youve seen it before. Its awesome seeing the sites that have decided to take part in this tribute, and to see the list slowly grow. How many can you find?

ON PRIVACY:
This extension will record a list of hostnames that include the X-Clacks-Overhead header, and it stores it in 'sync' storage. This is a function available to Chrome extensions and means that this data will be available to any instance of Chrome that you sign in to. Lots of apps take advantage of this feature but it does mean that this list of hostnames is stored by Google in some way. If you trust Googles magic data L-space, then dont be afraid of the provisos on installation. Beyond that, it does no more than read the HTTP headers of the sites you visit. However, if you still dont trust me, feel free to read the source code directly, here: https://github.com/JonathanUsername/chrome-clacks-saved
