Sam Dean (ID: 000000a19dfe4610) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/20/2022 Works great, even when the text has numbers, symbols etc (obviously any non letters aren't changed) and it does work when submitting text boxes

marc wilson (ID: 00000015ced92a14) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/03/2019 Works to un-ROT, but doesn't ROT very well. No use for Facebook.

Eric Scoles (ID: 000000ad92807e8a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/17/2019 Doesn't work.

R M Gement (ID: 000000bc46d867da) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/07/2018 It works sporadically (often seems to only work once on a page, or possibly there is a formatting or punctuation issue that breaks it), sometimes not even able to flip back a text it just flipped once. It also strips out all formatting in between, so if I highlight a string of three comments, they become all one paragraph with the user icons removed. As I use this on Mark Reads, a community that uses partial rot13 to obscure parts of long conversational threads, this is not robust enough for me.

Jess Austin (ID: 000000693f3fbd0f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/10/2018 It works, and doesn't need any permissions.
