Alex Plays II (ID: 000000de3f08e0fd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/28/2022 This is the best extension you could ever imagine! This extension should get more attention as it is amazing for so many things... Suggestion is that you should make it so it doesn't sometimes blur the entire page when it detects one of the blacklisted words.

Mads Feierskov (ID: 000000c7eda45f17) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/30/2021 All the websites I've tested it on doesn't just blur out the word or the sentence, but a very large portion of the site instead, sometimes the entire page. It seems the websites have to built a very specific way for it to work properly.

KiSSeli (ID: 000000d1827e8697) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/02/2020 In not sure if i need it, but i love it hehe..

Amy G (ID: 000000486afc732c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/08/2020 Thank you for saving my brain from unnecessary drain due to unwanted topics when browsing for research. It does not work super great on Twitter, but I understand that they are always changing how that website is rendered. Thanks again for creating this! Would donate if you have a donate button. All the best, Amy

Vincent (ID: 00000038e4e4a2bb) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/13/2020 Would love it if it could hide before the page is fully loaded so we could hide sensitive informations on livestreams or videos easily. Here, it shows for a few milliseconds, but it's already a lot
