en | I'd love for this app to be able to let me add a contribution/suggestion to be reviewed. For example, I'm reading a text that uses "fraternal" a lot, and it doesn't convert that to sororal, nor does it let me send the suggestion to the developer. There's a lot of hive contribution that could clean this app up that it's missing because of this. That being said, it's a delight to read older texts with this app on. |

It still has a few bugs to iron out. The female dwarf in a story I was reading was still referred to as having a beard, and in two other stories I read, the "huntsmen" did not change to "huntswomen". | |

Besides obviously being a feminist POS; it can collect all your data, including key strokes, it could save your passwords, your favs, it can change your OS settings, and rename your core OS files, essentially it's a trojan, not quite a virus, but can be used as a gateway for other malicious apps. Ran 3 penetration tests on it and boy oh boy; not sure how Google even let this one slip through. | |

Changed "her 25 years of service" to "him 25 years of service." This one shold be easy to fix. Also, doesn't catch "hubby." | |

This extension didn't work for a long time until months later, it randomly kicked in and surprised me (I had forgotten about it). I can't seem to get it to stop now! | |

Much to my delight this extension works so well. I did not notice I had active while researching, which turned the whole virtual world on it's head. Now if I just remember to toggle it on and off when it is appropriate! Thanks for your good works! | |
