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!

Worked everywhere but docs where it wouldn't load the contents of the document, leaving the website unusable until I disabled the extension.
