Features & Capabilities

Text Rewriter is a Chrome extension designed to customize and rewrite text on any webpage using JavaScript regular expressions. Inspired by fun replacements like "cloud to butt," it allows users to define pattern replacements, including backreferences and captures, enabling complex and overlapping substitutions. The extension works by applying changes directly to visible text nodes on the page, making it highly flexible for personal amusement or personalization.

Key features include the ability to disable the extension on specific domains via an icon toggle, preventing unwanted replacements in sensitive contexts like Slack. Additionally, it offers an experimental live update mode to dynamically replace text that loads after the initial page render, such as YouTube captions. By default, it includes a sensible "mispell" to "misspell" correction. Text Rewriter combines fun with functionality to enhance your browsing experience through tailored text transformations.

Is Text Rewriter 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.

Text Rewriter requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
