Review summary

Users praise the add-on for actual text replacement, full-page scope, and a simple, lightweight design. But the top drawbacks are a duplication bug, limited cross-site support/maintenance, and missing advanced features like saving patterns and shortcuts. Overall, it’s a handy, quick-find-and-replace tool for simple tasks, with room for broader site compatibility and more control features.

Pros

Actual text replacement (not just a visual change) inside text boxes and on webpages.
Replaces all occurrences, not just the first match.
Simple, lightweight tool with a small footprint and easy to use.
Works in contexts where other tools fail (including dynamic content and iframes after updates).
Developer responsiveness and improvements (notably updates that expanded support).

Cons

Duplication bug in recent updates causes replacements to be applied twice.
Limited cross-site support and maintenance; perceived as not working broadly (sometimes Google Translate only) and not updated for a long time.
Lacks advanced features and controls (no save/favorites/history, no keyboard shortcuts, limited customization).
If used to replace many terms at once, it can be risky due to lack of granular control.

2023-08-10	Fi*****	The latest update makes it add the change twice. For example, if replacing "one" with "onetwo" it will be replaced as "onetwotwo" (edit: https://github.com/erosman/support/issues/585)
