About Blur Background
Blur Background gives you quick control over images while you browse.
Use the extension to:
- Blur all images in the current tab with one click.
- Adjust blur strength from 2 to 30 pixels.
- Restore the original page appearance at any time.
- Open the Blur Background web editor when you want to keep a photo's subject sharp while softening its background.
Page blurring is temporary and happens only after you click the extension controls. The extension does not upload page images, collect personal data, read browsing history, run ads, or sell data.
The extension uses `activeTab` and `scripting` only to apply or remove a temporary CSS blur on images in the tab where you invoke it. Chrome blocks this behavior on protected pages such as `chrome://` pages and the Chrome Web Store.
Full photo editing opens https://blurbackground.vip/ in a new tab. The website's separate privacy policy applies when you use the web editor.
