Ultimate Profanity Filter Extension

The ultimate profanity filter for browsing the web!

I made this after a long time browsing Reddit, and really wanted a Reddit profanity filter so I could stop seeing the HUGE amount of profanity that's on there. The great thing about this extension is that it filters out profanity on other sites, too!

I will be updating this with more features in the future; top ones on my list include:

- add your own blacklist of words to filter
- right-click on a word to blacklist it
- exploring technology to filter out profanity in images (for example, this will NOT filter out profanity others save in a picture)

Thank you! I look forward to sharing a cleaner web with you :)

Icon is based on \"Clean\" by asianson.design from the Noun Project

Changelog:
- Feb 2023: fixing an issue with \"dic*\" catching too many things that aren't profanity
- May 2022: applied to titles, and added a delay on reddit to catch comments as they load
