Hide Names on Discord — for Browser

*Currently in beta. Free Chrome extension to hide/censor user names on Discord in the browser, with asterisks (*) displaying the first few letters and adding a number unique to each different name to the end, while keeping specified names displayed. It is only available on the browser version of Discord. (Tested in Chrome ver. 124.0.6367.201) Example use case is for screen recording in the browser when other people's privacy is concerned. Hidden names e.g. NameOnDiscord, will look like: Na***********(1286). *Introduction image blurs icons for privacy but it's not part of the functionality. KNOWN ISSUES: When many members in the server or much of resource is taken up by your computer, it can crash. Sorry for inconvenience but avoid resource intensive tasks such as high res record or too many apps open. In very rare cases some names won't be hidden but the matching pattern for it is still unknown. It hides names in: a memberlist audience in a live/voice channel a chat timeline, replys/mentions (except for channel names) (who)'s typing below the input box. Displays the first 1(for CJK characters)/2(for alphanumeric) characters and hides the others. Usage: After installing the extension, open a tab accessing discord.com/channels/, then open the extension popup menu, type in names you want to keep displayed and press the Apply button. The program execution only works on discord servers. *Try reloading the Discord page first before use. Limitation: There are limitations: 1. If the original name looks like this: Na*******(1), (i.e. starting with 1 or 2 letters followed by asterisks then numbers in parenthesis and nothing after that), the name is not going to be censored but displayed as-is. The logic is simple: It first checks if the original name matches a specific string pattern. If matches, ignores, if not, porceeds to modification. 2. Also, if the original name is exactly the same as another, their ID numbers are going to be exactly the same. Because simply it generates a unique number by calculating the sum of ASCII code of each letter. The unique number is intended to make names starting with the same letters, distinguishable, but if the names are entirely the same all along, the number becomes meaningless. 3. If there are a massive number of user names—including the same names—like, say 10,000 entries, detected at once on your server (it actually happens), it might lead to high CPU/memory usage. 4. Also if there's an excesive level of activity on your computer or such a large number of names being detected, while the extension is running, the names might sometimes show up uncensored in a blink. 5. Names which are specified are also hidden in mentions that is expected. ---License--- GPL-3.0 Licensed under GNU General Public License v3.0. ---Important--- License may change in later versions.
