Rated 4 out of 5
by hey, 2 years agoSorry, but I have to give this a 1 star rating.
Not only does it seem fairly arbitrary when it works and when not (i guess its based on the length? it's super weird when you for example view wikipedia and it completely ignores some shorter paragraphs), but it also breaks certain websites.
this is especially the case when a textarea element is defined with preset text within the body of the textarea element - the extension simply clears the textarea element of its contents in that case

2. You can adjust "Skip Text" and "Skip Words" in the options to your liking. Set them to lowest values will apply styling for all text. Please read the "Help" tab for more information.
If you don't mind, please post links to those websites here, so I can make further investigation.
This extension will simply replace a normal text with a block of text. It will not break any web page, unless there are some scripts running on the background to check the content and modify them again. For example, duckduckgo.com will track your mouse movement and keep replacing the text in the search result if you modify them.
3. I added TEXTAREA to the ignore list in the latest version (1.6.1+). Hope this will fix the issue in your case.
