Help without the drizzle
Cruddy Weather should be mouthy, not mysterious. If something is broken, send us the browser, extension version, and what you expected to happen.
Open Settings, search for a U.S. city or ZIP code, and save it as your forecast location.
Only one extension can own Chrome's new-tab page. Disable the competing override and reopen a tab.
Choose Safe, Mild, Hot, or Spicy in Settings. Safe keeps the forecast clean.
Cruddy Weather supports U.S. forecast locations in version 1. You can allow current-location access after pressing the location button, or search for a U.S. city or ZIP code manually in Settings. If permission is denied, Cruddy Weather will not silently override your decision.
Forecasts can occasionally be delayed or unavailable. Reload the extension, confirm you are online, and try the location again. Never rely on the commentary alone for emergency decisions.
Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Opera allow only one extension to replace the new-tab page at a time. If another new-tab tool is enabled, your browser may ask which one to keep. Disable the competing extension, then open a fresh tab.
Your frequent-site shortcuts come from the browser and stay local. Search text is handed to the search provider configured in your browser.
Use Settings to change Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin; switch between dark and light mode; select Safe, Mild, Hot, or Spicy commentary; and enable or disable the new-tab weather experience. Commentary samples rotate when you select an attitude. They do not change on a timer.
Email support@wiplash.ai with your browser and version, Cruddy Weather version, approximate location or ZIP code, the page where the issue appeared, and a screenshot if it does not expose private information.
Do not send precise coordinates, passwords, API keys, or anything else that should not be in an email.
Send the useful details. We’ll interrogate the atmosphere and the code.
