About

Privacy Shield is a Chrome extension designed to keep on-screen information private when others might see your browser. It adds a full-page blur overlay that can be adjusted and dragged to reveal only the portion of a page you need to show. For more control, it lets you blur specific page elements by holding Right Alt and clicking; those blurred elements persist across page reloads so sensitive sections stay hidden. A “Meeting Mode” applies protections across all open tabs by masking tab titles as “Private Tab,” swapping favicons to a shield icon, and enabling the overlay everywhere to reduce accidental disclosure during screen sharing. The extension also includes customization options such as blur intensity, theme selection, and site lists for “Always Blur” and “Never Blur.” It states it operates entirely within the browser and does not collect, store, or send user data.
