User Reviews

Users praise Deadname Remover for removing deadnames and aiding privacy, especially in schools and fanfiction contexts. However, many reviews cite post-2.0 regressions, performance slowdowns, and saving errors as recurring issues, with some site-specific problems (Gmail) and Waterfox homepage stealth mode glitches. Despite stability concerns, the extension remains valued for its utility and the developer's responsiveness, with several users noting its meaningful impact during transitions.

Pros

Very helpful for removing deadnames and changing references across sites.
Useful for privacy in real-life contexts (e.g., school or college) to avoid explanations.
Versatile enough to adapt to different uses (e.g., changing names in fanfics).
Positive developer support and responsiveness.
Long-term usefulness and impact during name changes.

Cons

Post-update regressions that break it on many sites (notably after the 2.0 release).
Significant performance slowdowns or browser crawl when the extension is on.
Cannot save changes; 'changes failed to save' errors.
Browser crashes on some configurations.
Site-specific compatibility problems (e.g., Gmail, Waterfox homepage stealth mode).

used it to remove any references of W.D Gaster lol

Danke! I have noticed that when I open Waterfox, the stealth mode doesn't work on the homepage (exclusively). When clicking on the extension, the setting is still on, but it's seems that it doesn't do anything. This problem does not happen outside of the homepage though. I have 'use in private browsing' on, use Startpage, and am on mobile if that helps. Also, would it be possible to make a list of more famous Trans people that's easily downloadable, so we don't have to input all of them manually, possibly forgetting a few.

Is Deadname Remover Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Deadname Remover requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Deadname Remover is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
