What separates the internet world from the real one, despite our shared seedy back alleys, is our inability to vandalize the same way. Leaving comments on a page just isn’t the same as busting out spray paint cans or leaving doodles in your friends’ notebooks. For anyone who loved secret decorder rings and invisible ink as kids, however, there’s Goggles. Goggles is a slightly more vibrant MS Paint that let’s you leave drawings or messages on any website. No one can see the doodles unless they’ve also got Goggles on, so no real harm is done if you’ve doodled on anything important.

 

It’s a cool time waster and a fun thing to do with friends. Leaving drawings on their blog or site at least proves that you’ve been keeping up with them. It’s also really fun to turn Goggles on and see what’s been left on websites you frequent daily. Goggles is also notoriously easy to use. It’s an open-source bookmarklet, so it will appear in your Bookmarks tab once it’s installed. By going to their website and dragging the “Goggles” button to your own Bookmark bar, you’ve installed Goggles. That’s it. Uninstalling it is as easy as removing it from your Bookmarks. Clicking on it in the Bookmarks tag turns it on, and allows you to see any other graffiti on the website you’re currently on.

 

To the left of your screen will be a few size and color options. Your options aren’t as varied as an MS Paint doodle would be, but we’re not asking for an artist’s palette. The colors are neon, so anything you write or draw will be bright enough on any site. Go ahead and test it out here!
