Functions seemlessly, but I'm using this for professional purposes to hide my coworker's names while screensharing at this point. This extension is only good for one person, and won't let you set replacements for multiple people at a time. Since I'm not using this for myself, that's the only thing I would really ask to change. May end up having to switch to a new extension or write my own in the future for this reason.

it works fine, until I go to a video with my deadname in the title of the video. The position of the video with the deadname in the sidebar will always stay the same and sometimes it will combine the video titles together or get rid of the original title of the video and leave it with the title that had my deadname on it and it's very confusing.
