Joseph Kennedy (ID: 00000084e11fd786) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/10/2021 This could use better instructions. I had to guess to click the extensions icon after browsing to a site I wanted to replace URL text in, to trigger the replace and reload. It would be nice if there was an option to monitor and auto-replace certain terms, but it gets the job done.
