User reviews

I use this semi-frequently for adding custom regex replacements, however: one of the default rules breaks google image search (fancy-apostrophe/quotes, I believe?). Also, *all* of the word-type related rules break (such as adding Oxford commas). as this is the only Oxford comma extension on chrome, that fact makes me quite sad. 3 stars because a) it breaks google image search, b) Oxford comma rule does not work.
