does it's job, but slows down the browser to the point that some pages freeze after being loaded for a few seconds

iirc (if I recall correctly), I heard about this extension through TikTok or YouTube during quarantine and decided to give it a try since I was struggling with some dysphoria at the time, and it actually ended up helping me out a lot.
The extension replaced all mentions of my deadname with my preferred name on literally EVERY webpage, so it ultimately helped me to feel a lot less anxious/worried about being "jumpscared" by my deadname while doing zoom classes or visiting other sites.
It pretty much worked like how people advertised it.
I don't really use this extension anymore since it's become a lot easier to handle situations where I see my deadname, so I don't necessarily need it, but this is honestly one of the most helpful extensions I've ever used; I'd definitely recommend this to others!!!
(Also: I kind of wondered why it wasn't possible to set/change multiple names, but I kind of figured out you technically can through the middle and last name boxes.)
