User reviews

Users appreciate 'Word Replacer II' for effectively replacing words and filtering unwanted phrases, with good reliability and site-specific customization. However, it commonly causes text input problems (cursor issues), breaks functionality in some web applications like Jira and Trello, and lacks convenient per-site enable/disable controls. The UI is basic and users desire improvements. The extension faces availability concerns after being removed from the Chrome Store due to policy compliance issues.

Too bad you can’t switch it on/off for certain domain only. You have to turn either on or off completely each time, really annoying. And I guess we’re not getting any updates after all these years passed, especially now, after it was kicked out the store due to Google’s new incredibly stupid policy

Google seems to have removed it because it "doesn't follow Google's best practices" or whatever. I want it back. It works well.

Works as I expected. Unfortunately it interferes with keyboard entry, shifting the cursor haphazardly. Can't have that.
