Declarations is an ongoing artistic research project into the poetic materiality of the CSS web-standard and its visual-political-cultural echoes on design-artistic practices and our daily lives. Declarations is a love letter to the crafts of designing with language.

a firefox browser extension that allow to edit all website at once

Scratch is named both after the practice of DJ scratching, and scratching the surface to reach the code of the webpage. It is a browser extension crafted for Declarations (a research on the materility of the CSS web-language).

Scratch allows to append an etherpad as a CSS stylesheet on one or multiple websites. Those changes can be viewed by the users of the extension and if you have the extension installed, you can also edit the css on the pad.

You can download the extention, note that this is meant to work in firefox for now.

  1. after downloading the .zip, enter about:debugging in a firefox tab url.
  2. then click on This Firefox
  3. click on Load Temporary Add-on
  4. select the .zip file

Now the extension is temporary added to your browser session, it will stays there as long as you don't close your browser.

Once added, you click on the puzzle piece in the top right of your browsing window. It will open a pop-up menu where you can select any etherpad from any instances.

If you start writting CSS on the pad it will apply to every website at once.
