gobble

A Chrome extension with no use at all

Roll up any website.

Gobble lifts the page you're on into a tiny 3D world and hands you a sticky ball. Roll over the words and they stick. Grow. Then eat the buttons, the pictures, the cookie banner, the logo, and finally the page itself.

Add to Chrome, it's free

Psst: click anything on this page.

Gobble is for Chrome on a computer. On your phone, tap anything on this page and drag to roll.

any website you have open
🍪

Chase the cookie banner

Cookie walls, newsletter pop-ups and chat bubbles are bosses. Get big enough and they run for it: corner them, and they're gone, in slow motion.

🏆

Eat the logo

Every site's logo floats on a gold stand: eat it for five more seconds, and it goes on your shelf. The headline goes down in one bite, ads give you time, and Gobble adds up every price you eat.

☕

Then eat the desk

Clear a page and your ball rolls off it for dessert: the mug, the pencils, the rubber duck. Then on into your next tab, with a few more seconds.

How it plays

  1. 1Click the buttonOn any page, click Gobble in the toolbar (or press Alt+Shift+G). The page lifts off the screen into a little world.
  2. 2RollSteer with the mouse, and hold the button to dash. Whatever wobbles as you come near is small enough to eat: words first, then buttons, pictures and whole panels.
  3. 3Clear the pageEat nearly all of it before the clock runs out (some pages start you up on a top floor of islands and paper bridges). You get more time, a medal against a bot that played the same page, and your record to beat. Keep eating without a break for a combo; if the clock runs out mid-combo, or while you're eating the page itself, it's overtime.
  4. 4Roll onInto your next tab, or into a link you ate. How many pages can you clear?
  • 6 cm a word
  • 20 cm a button
  • 50 cm a picture
  • 90 cm the cookie banner
  • 1 m+ the page

Every tab is a clip

Gobble records each tab while you play: the page lifting off, the eating sped up, the slow motion when the logo goes, and your ball at the end. Press Save clip for a video with sound.

Or Save 9:16: the same clip upright, from a camera of its own, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Or Copy result, a few lines to paste anywhere.

Nothing is uploaded anywhere. The videos are made on your computer.

Get Gobble

Free, for Chrome (and Edge, Brave and Arc) on Mac, Windows, Linux and ChromeOS. It only touches the tab you click it on.

Add to Chrome

Gobble needs Chrome on a computer. Send yourself the link for later.

Install it by hand
  1. Download gobble.zip and unzip it.
  2. Open chrome://extensions and turn on Developer mode (top right).
  3. Click Load unpacked and pick the unzipped folder.
  4. Pin Gobble to the toolbar and click it on any page.

Does it change the website?

No. Gobble rolls up a picture of the page. Press Esc and the real page is right where you left it.

What can it see?

Only the tab you click it on, when you click it. The first time you roll into another tab, Chrome asks you to allow that. It never rolls into mail, banking, sign-in or pinned tabs, and you can skip any tab with N.

Does it collect anything?

No accounts, no analytics, no servers. Your best size and your record on each site stay in your browser.

What is it for?

Nothing. It's fun, and that's the whole point.
