Tweakers Time Machine

Chrome browser extension for the Tweakers.net Dutch tech community website. Which adds an "On this day in..." section on the frontpage. This section contains historical articles from the same day in other years.

Wouldn't exist without the work done by ieperlingetje and his Tijdmachine (Time Machine) website for its contents.
