It's time to Kick Ass

January 11, 2011 · by Espen André Øverdahl

Wow, that's a blog title I've been wanting to write for a long time, and thanks to a beautiful and fun extension I was finally able to do it!

Kick Ass is an Opera extension which make an Asteroid ship appear and allows you to start blasting away elements of any website you want!

After installing the extension, you'll have to reload the page you're on to get it to work. The extension button will remain disabled until this has been done!

This was a bookmarklet that has been in the wild for ages. Not new, but fun nonetheless.

I would love to spread the word about Opera and cool stuff like this, it's just a shame the post to Facebook and Twitter links are both busted.

And Opera wonder WHY people in the outside Internet don't talk about Opera....

Much-needed, reminds me of a Windows program called the Desktop Destroyer. And an even older program that caused virtual roaches to hide under your icons and rapidly scuttle between them. They squished quite nicely if you were fast enough.
MauroWednesday, January 12, 2011 2:27:59 AM
reminded me of the desktop-game from LucasArts in the late 90's ...
I tried it with my friend in the office ... I destroyed a website ... Then I saw the link from his computer to see if he was still destroyed! .....
legendary!

I don't understand your logic. Because some buttons on this site are temporarily broken, everyone stops being able to cut and paste links for all eternity?

And how does broken links on the internet keep people from talking about Opera offline? Again, I don't understand the logic.

Interesting game extension !
Charles SchlossWednesday, January 19, 2011 6:04:44 AM
I had a blog post about the bookmarklet a while back
RoadHazardThursday, February 17, 2011 10:08:57 PM
Didn't see it mentioned here before now, nice!

Anyway, I just wanted to make sure nobody thinks I'm unfairly taking credit for this. On the extension page I clearly state that I have just converted the original bookmarklet (created by Erik Rothoff Andersson) into an extension, and I also provide a link to the bookmarklet. I made the extension (with his permission) to make this fun distraction more convenient for Opera users to install and use.
