About Deadname Remover

By installing it, you can avoid the discomfort of seeing your or a friend/family member's deadname while browsing the web. • Replaces deadnames: Add infinite deadname and chosen name pairs to process and replace on most websites • Privacy-first: All data processing locally on device. No data collection or browsing history stored. Settings remain local by default, with optional browser sync. See Privacy Policy for more details • Performant: Extremely lightweight, no noticeable difference in page load times. Can run on low-end devices including Chromebooks • Pride themes: Add trans pride and non-binary pride gradient highlights on replaced names • Syncing settings across devices: Keep your settings in sync across all your devices (disabled by default for privacy reasons) • Content blocking: Prevent flashing of deadnames by blocking page content before the extension has finished processing (optional) • Stealth mode: Hide the extension icon to protect privacy and avoid being outed. Recommended to disable text highlighting as well. • Site filtering: Control where the extension operates on a per-site basis (including using wildcards). Can allow or block all sites by default, or specify specific sites to allow or block. Proudly open-source and MIT-licensed. See more information on https://github.com/arimgibson/Deadname-Remover
