## Review summary

Users appreciate Word Replacer's straightforward interface and the feature to import/export rules and organize them into groups for selective use. It effectively replaces words to customize content, improving user experience. However, several users report problems with React site textboxes where typing becomes difficult due to cursor jumps, and occasional text clipping when replacement words are longer than originals.

### Pros

- Simple and easy-to-use interface
- Ability to import/export rules easily

- Effectively replaces words as intended and enhances browsing experience

### Cons

- Causes issues with textboxes on React-based sites like Facebook and Discord, moving cursor to start when typing
- In some cases, replacing shorter words with longer replacements can overlap or clip into adjacent words
