Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Addon converting characters

Noqa   March 1st, 2012 6:32a.m.

Plenty of stuff on the Internet is written in traditional characters, so when I want to practice reading on some real text, I each time have to copy text to some converter and then get simplified characters.
It would be much better, if I had some addon in the browser that would do that automatically. I'd prefer something for Opera, which I use most often, but add-on for Chrome or Firefox also would be very nice.

Do you know anything like that?

And please don't tell me: "You just have to learn traditional characters, there won't always be an add-on around!" :P I'll get to that in the right time.

ChineseHacks wrote up an article on a good add-on for Firefox, check it out here:

Hope it helps!

Yup, that's the one that I had used, too.

That's really great, thanks guys :)
I love that it also enlarges text, miraculously perfect maladjustment between Latin and Chinese script really strikes my nerve.
