About Privacy Shield
Privacy Shield protects your screen from prying eyes — whether you're sharing your screen on a call, working in a coffee shop, or presenting to an audience.
🔒 Full-Page Blur Overlay
Activate a frosted glass overlay that blurs the entire page. Drag the edge to reveal only the portion you need.
🎯 Selective Element Blur
Hold Right Alt and click any element to blur it individually. Blurred elements persist across page reloads so your sensitive content stays hidden.
📹 Meeting Mode
One click to protect every open tab. Meeting Mode masks tab titles to "Private Tab," replaces favicons with a shield icon, and activates the overlay across all tabs — so nothing leaks during screen sharing.
⚙️ Fully Customizable
• Set blur intensity from subtle to opaque
• Configure "Always Blur" and "Never Blur" site lists
• Choose dark, light, or system theme
• Auto-detect meetings via camera and microphone usage
🛡️ Zero Data Collection
Privacy Shield works entirely within your browser. No data is collected, stored, or sent anywhere. Your browsing stays private — that's the whole point.
