Humans.txt is a new standard in use by Google, Flickr, and many grassroots web developers. It's a way to recognize the humans who made a website, and the tools they used.
This extension shows an icon in the address bar for sites using humans.txt, so you can discover it's available. Click on the icon to see the humans.txt file. Try it on http://humanstxt.org or http://google.com for example.
Extension by Michael Mahemoff, Player FM (http://player.fm) and originally created while at Google.

Update March 31, 2011
Thanks for all your Twitter feedback since I launched this yesterday! The tool now filters for "text/plain" content types, which will remove a few false positives. It also now checks for humans only once per origin, instead of on every page load, and will respect port numbers too.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
