Privacy Shield
Privacy Shield is a Chrome extension that blurs pages, masks tabs, and hides UI elements to keep on-screen content private. It is designed for screen sharing, meetings, and everyday browsing in public or shared spaces.
Overview
Privacy Shield is a Chrome extension for keeping on-screen information private while you browse, present, or share your screen. Its main tools are page-wide blur, per-element blur, and a Meeting Mode that hides tab titles and icons across every open tab.
The extension is aimed at situations where sensitive content might be visible to other people nearby or on a call. According to the listing, it works entirely within the browser and does not collect, store, or send user data.
Features
Selective element blur
Hold Right Alt and click any element to blur it individually. The blur stays in place after page reloads, which helps keep sensitive fields hidden.
Meeting Mode for tab privacy
Protect all open tabs with one action. Meeting Mode changes tab titles to "Private Tab," swaps favicons to a shield icon, and applies the overlay across tabs.
Custom blur and site rules
Adjust blur intensity from subtle to opaque, and set site lists for pages that should always blur or never blur.
Theme and meeting detection controls
Switch between dark, light, or system theme, and let the extension auto-detect meetings through camera and microphone usage.
Browser-only privacy handling
The extension runs locally in the browser and the listing says no data is collected, stored, or sent anywhere.
Use Cases
Screen sharing with hidden details
Blur sensitive information on a page before sharing your screen, so viewers only see the part of the page you reveal.
Preparing for meetings
Turn on Meeting Mode before a video call to mask tab titles and icons across open tabs and reduce accidental exposure.
Protecting sensitive page elements
Use selective element blur to hide private fields, account details, or other content that should stay covered while you keep working.
Working in public spaces
Apply the extension in public or shared workspaces, such as a coffee shop, when nearby people might see your display.
