dotUdotMe
=====
This is a javascript browser bookmarklet that will help with the following use cases:
- Cycle through search results on google.com, google.co.uk, google.fr, google.cz, google.foo
- Cycle between amazon.com and amazon.co.uk prices and comments
- Swap between fr.wikipedia.org/Foo, de.wikipedia.org/Foo, and xx.wikipedia.org/Foo
In short it swaps country-specific elements of the domain, which helps overcome geolocation defaults.
Configuration
