Extension Usage Instructions

                        Searching for news articles on the world wide web can be a time-consuming and energy-sapping experience. My own news hunt experience used to involve opening multiple browser windows and then copying and pasting the same news key words repeatedly. 

To ease my own frustrations and minimise time and effort to look for news articles online that are related to what I am currently reading, I created the Parallel News chrome extension. 

It automatically searches for news articles on other news web-sites (i.e. those different from the one you are currently accessing) and then loads them into a handy clickable list. 

While Parallel News is doing the search, it does not affect your current news article reading so that you get maximise convenience without disruptions.

This is the first incarnation of Parallel News and I am working on enhancements to make the next version better. Please let me know your feedback at [email protected]! 

Some of the improvements that I have slated for the coming version includes automatic related YouTube video retrieval.

Cheerio!
