The behavior I'm witnessing is that the extension is inventing words out of thin air and adding them into the text on webpages. It's finding false positives. So if I have "doctor" and "specialist" as highlighted terms, and a webpage says "Janitor", it might just randomly add "doctor" to the title so that it says "Janitor Doctor". Sorry, but this bug ruins the extension completely and causes horrible misunderstandings, and, obviously the users of this extension do not want false positives.
