Open a random piece of content from your current site/creator — a blog post, YT video, Netflix episode, comic, wiki page or tweet.
Simply navigate to the desired site/channel/show/user and click the extension icon to get a random piece of content from its archive.
Note: I make no claims that it'll work for every news site/blog/webcomic. During testing the success rate has been ~80% — it succeeds unless my rules break down due to inconsistent URL & archive formatting (did you know the internet is quite varied?).

TIPS
—————————————————
You can use the site unirandom.com to get the same functionality on your phone.
You can use the randomizing shortcut "Ctrl+B" to avoid having to click on the icon.
The extension asks for your browsing history to avoid opening a link you've already visited on certain sites (not only since you've downloaded the extension, but since you last cleared your history). If you're using Chrome on your phone with sync turned on, you can avoid opening any links in its browsing history as well.

I found this very useful when wanting to listen to a random song from a YouTube channel, and also when browsing a new webcomic I can use it to go to a random page and see a more general view of what the webcomic would be like. Basically, this is a very cool extension, its uses might be a bit miscellaneous but it's personally been very useful to me. Good job dev, you're awesome. |
