Trump Eraser Release History
How The %#@! Did We Wind Up Here?
This is the story of how Trump Eraser keeps turning ‘Donald Trump’ into the butt of your joke—with less fuss and zero spying. We ship small, frequent improvements: smoother replacements, better compatibility, more accurate detrumpifcation, and stuff that just plain works.
These are the receipts. Audit away…
Version 2.4.1
August 20, 2025
- Stays consistent as you scroll. Tooltip and overlay replacements now keep working on long, feed-style pages and carousels.
- Feels faster. Snappier performance across news sites and infinite-scroll pages.
- Reads more naturally. Smarter handling of plurals and possessives.
- Polished Options. The Delete button in legacy editors once again works reliably, and empty nickname rows now disappear automatically.
- Consistent by default. Built-in nickname standardized to *** REDACTED ***.
- General reliability fixes. Smoother behavior across Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
Version 2.4.0
August 17, 2025
This update makes Trump Eraser more welcoming and more powerful:
- Welcome message: New users now see a short, dismissible Welcome screen with important info when they first install.
- Bulk editors: Easily manage your nicknames and site exclusion list in one place. Import/export or paste lists in seconds.
- Smarter tooltips: Trump’s name often hides in tooltips (like hover popups). Trump Eraser now catches these earlier and more consistently.
- Better polish: Cleaner Options page design, improved usability, and smoother replacements inside tooltips.
- Performance: Faster, less noticeable scanning even on big or constantly updating websites.
Version 2.3.3
August 9, 2025
- Fresh nickname every time: Instead of reusing the same nickname within a section, each Trump mention gets its own random replacement.
- Tooltip consistency: Tooltips tied to a word reuse the same nickname for clarity (when possible).
- Grammar fixes: Possessives and plurals now read more naturally (no awkward endings).
Version 2.3.2
August 17, 2025
A big leap in coverage:
