User reviews
Deadname-B-Gon is widely praised for its effectiveness, ease of use, and strong customization options that help users avoid deadnames across many websites. It runs smoothly and instantly, improving emotional well-being for users. However, it can cause usability issues on some platforms like Google Docs, bank sites, and during Google account logins, often requiring users to disable or pause the extension temporarily. The UI may also be confusing initially, particularly when adding domains. Overall, it is highly recommended with noted minor drawbacks.

Works on almost any website. I have been using this for 2-3 years without issue, and it helps that it is quite easy to turn on/off, alongside the feature that allows you to choose specific website that do/don't change your name!
