dbo:abstract	Stop Tony Meow is a browser extension which replaces photos of former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott with images of cats and kittens on websites. Initially created for Google Chrome, the extension was expanded to Safari and Firefox later in 2014. The extension was created by developers and designers Dan Nolan, Ben Taylor and Matt Kelsh. The extension became very popular with over 100,000 users by September 2014, and in the same year it was selected by the National Library of Australia to be included in its Pandora Archive. The script searches for "abbott" in a page's source code and replaces the image with a photo from Placekitten, a service which displays placeholder cat images on websites. In response to the popularity of Stop Tony Meow, the Liberal Party changed their website to prevent images of their then-leader being replaced. Stop Tony Meow also gained limited notoriety in Texas, where it was discovered that the extension also replaced images of then-Republican gubernatorial candidate, now-governor Greg Abbott. (en)
