Create Placeholder Lorem Ipsum Text

SUMMARY: Graphics designers - generate placeholder Lorem Ipsum text via a button inside Google Chrome while designing layouts of publications and web pages.

If you often design documents and web pages, if you do not have content ready for the various elements you might resort to dummy placeholder text such as the famous Lorem Ipsum placeholders. While some software packages and web pages can generate this text, you may find the "Lorem Ipsum Generator" for Google Chrome convenient. This extension adds a button directly to the toolbar allowing you to generate paragraphs of varying words.

To install this extension:
