User Reviews

Users praise robust regex support and the ability to edit text in frames/iframes and many standard forms, making it great for large or bulk edits. Major complaints are inconsistent behavior across specific sites/inputs, unreliable or reverting replacements, and several UI/UX shortcomings (icon/window visibility and lack of shortcuts). Overall useful but sometimes unstable depending on the page.

Pros

Full regex support for powerful find-and-replace operations.
Can edit text inside complex page structures (frames/iframes and content-editable areas) when focused correctly.
Very useful for bulk or large-scale edits (CSV-to-vertical lists, mass editing text blocks).
Works well in many standard HTML forms and environments (several users report success in MediaWiki and regular text areas).

Cons

Inconsistent behavior across sites — often fails to find text or doesn’t work with certain inputs (e.g., some ad/keyword fields).
Unreliable replace behavior reported: replacements can fail to persist, revert after clicking away, or behave incorrectly.
UI/UX limitations: toolbar icon or window visibility issues, no persistent search/replace window, and missing shortcut keys.

Recent reviews

It does not f***ing work. It finds the text successfully, and seemingly replaces it at first, but then when I click away from the extension all the replacements revert. Useless and an utter waste of time.

Worked great for what I wanted: turning a comma separated values (CSV) list into a vertical list, finding and replacing ", " with "\n". The fact that it supports Regex is a fantastic!

Is Find & Replace for Text Editing 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.

Find & Replace for Text Editing does not require any sensitive permissions.
