Blur It

Product Introduction

1. Blur It is a professional-grade Chrome extension designed to protect sensitive information during screen sharing activities. It enables users to instantly blur text, images, forms, and other webpage elements using customizable tools directly within their browser. The extension operates locally without transmitting data to external servers, ensuring privacy compliance and real-time control over obscured content.
2. The core value of Blur It lies in its ability to prevent accidental exposure of confidential data during live presentations, recordings, or collaborative sessions. It eliminates the need for post-production editing by providing instant visual obfuscation that integrates seamlessly with all major screen-sharing platforms.

Main Features

1. Blur It offers three precision blurring modes: Text Mode automatically detects and obscures text content, Area Mode allows freeform drawing over any screen section, and Element Mode enables single-click blurring of specific HTML components like form fields or images.
2. Users can adjust blur intensity through a sliding scale from 10% transparency to 100% opaque pixelation, allowing customization based on content sensitivity and visual clarity requirements. The extension maintains layered blur effects that can be individually modified or removed through a dedicated management panel.
3. The collapsible toolbar provides instant access to all features without obstructing workspace visibility, featuring one-click activation/deactivation of blur effects and keyboard shortcuts for rapid toggling during presentations. All configurations persist across browser sessions until manually cleared.

Problems Solved

1. Blur It addresses the critical risk of unintentional disclosure of client data, personal information, or proprietary details during screen shares, which could lead to compliance violations or reputational damage.
2. The solution specifically targets professionals requiring GDPR/CCPA-compliant screen sharing, including SaaS demo presenters, remote healthcare providers handling PHI, and financial advisors discussing sensitive documents.
3. Typical scenarios include obscuring credit card details during payment processing demos, hiding student IDs in educational webinars, and protecting confidential metrics in business intelligence dashboard presentations.

Unique Advantages

1. Unlike basic screen masking tools, Blur It implements dynamic CSS manipulation that preserves underlying webpage functionality while maintaining blurred overlays, allowing users to interact with obscured form fields without revealing actual data.
2. The extension's layer management system enables selective temporary de-blurring of specific elements during presentations through hotkeys, a feature absent in competing solutions that require complete effect removal.
3. Blur It holds technical superiority through its browser-level integration that ensures blurred elements remain obscured in all screen capture outputs, including NDI streams and browser-source inputs for OBS Studio, unlike post-processing filters that might be bypassed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How does Blur It handle complex web applications with dynamic content? The extension uses MutationObserver API to track DOM changes, automatically reapplying blur effects to newly loaded elements without user intervention in single-page applications.
2. Can blurred content be recovered if the browser crashes? All blur configurations are saved locally in IndexedDB storage, enabling automatic restoration of settings upon browser relaunch, including layer positions and intensity levels.
3. Does the extension support multi-monitor setups during screen sharing? Blur It functions at the browser tab level, maintaining consistent blur effects regardless of display configuration or mirroring settings in conferencing software like Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
4. What happens when a website updates its CSS structure? The extension's element detection algorithm uses multiple attribute selectors and XPath fallbacks to maintain blur persistence through minor UI updates, with manual refresh required only for major layout overhauls.
5. How does the 14-day refund policy handle license deactivation? Upon refund approval, the license key is cryptographically invalidated through a server-side revocation list, automatically disabling premium features while preserving existing blur configurations for 48 hours to allow transition.
