I can't find a way to remove the asterisks so far I can block the religion words I see posted during storm season. Religion drives me crazy..lol I killed God in the list. haha. But it showing asterisks. Otherwise "so far" its working. I noticed it did not show the word I entered at the time but refreshing page it did. However I have many other ad on blocking apps so may cause issues showing it. *update. * nope does not work on youtube at all. Sometimes it does work on other pages but most times now. So need to work on it more. fix the part where you can not use the *** and also that it works on Youtube and i will change my review.
