Overview

Tired of writers who think a 2-em-dash sentence like this makes them sound smarter?

DashBuster silently replaces every em dash on any website with the character of your choice. One toggle. Zero tolerance.

What It Does
Instant replacement em dashes become hyphens, spaces, robot emojis 🤖, or poop emojis 💩
Real-time counter see how many dashes you've busted on the current page
Hall of Shame lifetime leaderboard of which sites abuse em dashes the most. Screenshot it. Share it. Shame them.
Persistent settings your choice survives browser restarts

Why Install It
Em dashes break reading flow. Hyphens don't.
Writers overuse them now you have the receipts (Hall of Shame)
Zero performance impact: chunked scanning, idle-callback scheduling, no infinite loops
No data collection. No analytics. No BS.

How to Use

Toggle ON
Pick your weapon (hyphen, space, robot, or poop)

Built for readers who value clarity over pretension.
