[qutebrowser] wordfilter userscript with sed: local file fails to load.

[william tonks]

with your help i got a page to load, thank you, but it's mostly just a
white screen and thus unusable. you might be right that this method won't
work. but do you have any idea how to keep it html parsable, so it produces
the same page -- minus the edits?
