User reviews

Word Replacer is effective and straightforward, allowing users to customize text on web pages, making content more tolerable or fun. However, it has technical issues such as overlapping text when replacement words are longer and problems with text input on React-based sites like Facebook and Discord where the cursor jumps to the start of textboxes, reducing usability in these contexts.
Pros
  • Effectively replaces words as intended, enhancing readability or humor.
  • Simple and straightforward functionality, easy to use.
  • Improves user experience by customizing text feeds according to preference.
Cons
  • In some cases, replaced words longer than original cause text overlapping issues.
  • Causes problems with textboxes on React-based sites like Facebook and Discord, moving cursor to the start on typing, hindering text input.
