Summary
Cleanse warns you if you're on a page that contains zero-width characters and automatically removes them. Zero-width characters are invisible characters that are often used to identify you.
Cleanse also allows you to replace specified words on all websites with words of your choice. This is useful for parents to replace swear words or any other inappropriate words with something else. This can also be potentially used for pranks.
User reviews
Pretty disappointing. It can't remember more than five words to filter. Add anymore and the program forgets what you saved. I wouldn't be using this if Advanced Profanity Filter was working properly. Feels like there's not even a second-best extension to turn to. :/
got my parents to become juggalos after replacing "republicans" with "insane clown posse". very nice.
Safety
Risk impact
Cleanse is relatively safe to use as it requires very minimum permissions.
