This is the best extension you could ever imagine! This extension should get more attention as it is amazing for so many things... Suggestion is that you should make it so it doesn't sometimes blur the entire page when it detects one of the blacklisted words.

All the websites I've tested it on doesn't just blur out the word or the sentence, but a very large portion of the site instead, sometimes the entire page. It seems the websites have to built a very specific way for it to work properly.
