The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.

About Shades - Secure Input

Mask sensitive text on web pages before it appears on screen. Add patterns like API keys, emails, or bearer tokens, and Shades replaces matches with compact visual masks to reduce accidental exposure during demos, screen shares, and recordings. Toggle protection anytime, reveal masked values for the current page session, or use tutorial names to keep walkthroughs readable without showing real data.
