features

▚

byte-flip image responses

corrupts JPEG/PNG bytes pre-decode for authentic decoder smear — not a CSS filter, the real artifact.

█

zalgo every visible character

pierces shadow DOM, walks every text node, injects combining marks. nothing escapes.

▞

datamosh youtube

block-matched motion warp on decoded video frames; old pixels ride new motion vectors.

◐

tunable corruption

six profile presets from subtle to videodrome, or fine-tune every parameter.

why

a perfectly functioning browser is a tool of obedience. WRONG is a tool of refusal — a daily reminder that the seamless surface is a choice, not a law. it makes the seams visible by tearing them. use it to make art, to feel the substrate, or just because everything else is too clean.

install

linux — bash

# make it executable, run it. no installer, no daemon.
$ chmod +x WRONG-0.2.1.AppImage
$ ./WRONG-0.2.1.AppImage

macOS — terminal

# open the dmg, drag to /Applications.
# first launch is blocked by Gatekeeper — bypass with:
$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/WRONG.app
# or: right-click → Open → Open (once).

windows — powershell

# run the installer. SmartScreen will warn — click "More info" → "Run anyway".
# or use the portable .exe — no install, just launch.
