Discord Renamer

A lightweight Chrome Extension to give your Discord friends custom nicknames that persist across servers and DMs.

Features

• Custom Nicknames: Replace any Discord username with a name of your choice.
• Global Toggle: Easily enable or disable all renames with a single switch in the popup.
• Editable List: View, edit, or delete your custom names directly from the popup.
• Live Updates: Changes apply instantly to Discord—no page refresh required.
• Case-Insensitive Matching: Matches usernames regardless of capitalization (e.g., darkslayer matches DarkSlayer).
• Hover Reveal: Hover over any renamed user on Discord to see their original username in a tooltip.
• Privacy Focused: All data is stored locally in your browser's chrome.storage.local.
