User reviews

Doesn't work. When I add more words to replace it gets all confused and replaces the wrong words with the wrong replacements.

I have to keep reinstalling because it breaks constantly.

While the extension does replace text, it isn't case aware. If a piece of text were in all caps, it's treated the same as one that's all lowercase.
