Very useful add-on, just be aware that if you're forwarding an email containing your deadname, the email chain WILL contain your chosen name so make sure to turn it off before composing any emails to people you aren't out to. Also I find the middle name section didn't work for me but a good workaround is to cram it in with the last name since that's generally when you'll see it anyway

    I loved this extension before the most recent update, which caused it not work in most scenarios (Specifically gmail).

    So sorry to hear -- working on a fix already; should be resolved today or tomorrow!

    Normally love this extension, but I keep getting flagging about it slowing everything down when this extension is on since the big update. Tweaked all settings and nothing worked. Not sure what to do now since I can't even turn it on without websites slowing to an unusable crawl.

    This extension has been helpful for me, but the latest update (on Firefox) will not work for me and slows down my browser significantly. :[

    So so sorry to hear!! Can you please file a bug report on GitHub @ https://github.com/arimgibson/deadname-remover or shoot me an email @ hi@arimgibson.com? I only get one reply here so unfortunately cannot continue a conversation, but would love to get to the bottom of this. I tested extensively on Firefox without issues before releasing but would bet you're not the only one. Thank you!!! ~ Ari

    I've used this addon for what feels like years now-- And I'm sure the 2.0 update is great. Unfortunately, it crashes my browser.

    I have no idea why. I tried tweaking with the settings, like the block page setting, but no such luck.

    Firefox 135.0 (64-bit)
    ASUS - Vivobook Pro 15
    Intel Core Ultra 7 WITH 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050
