I created an extension called Anonymously Speaking, which replaces author names with “By: Anonymous”. I wanted to see how news intake was affected when the author names were obscured.
I don’t read through news sites myself, so I left it up to Google to tell me what sites to start fishing for. I was targeting the css classes, as I found that most of the author names were coded with pretty particular classes, such as .author, .byline, and other similar names.
