ScreenShield — Blur for Screen Sharing - One-click blur for screen sharing. Blurs persist on reload

Hey Everyone, 👋 I built ScreenShield because I was tired of one thing: every blur extension loses your blurs the moment you refresh the page. I checked the reviews of every blur extension on the Chrome Web Store — BlurWeb, ZeroBlur, DataMask, Blur It — and the #1 complaint across ALL of them was the same: "my blurs disappeared after refresh." So I built ScreenShield with one core principle: **your blurs should actually persist.** Here's what it does: 🖱️ Click any element to blur it instantly 📦 Draw a rectangle to blur any area 💾 Blurs persist after page reload (the feature everyone else gets wrong) 🎚️ Adjustable blur intensity 🔒 Hide tab title to protect privacy during screen sharing ⌨️ Full keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Shift+B to toggle) **What makes it different:** 1. Persistent blurs — reload the page, close the tab, come back tomorrow. Your blurs are still there. 2. 100% local — zero data leaves your browser. No server, no account, no tracking. 3. Only 28KB — the lightest blur extension on the store. 4. Generous free tier — element blur, area blur, keyboard shortcuts all free. Pro ($4.99/mo) unlocks unlimited blur zones, cross-session persistence & more. Built for everyone who shares their screen at work, records tutorials, or does live demos — whether you're hiding client data on a dashboard, blurring API keys during a dev stream, or protecting student info during an online class. I'd love to hear your feedback — what features would make this even more useful for you? Thank you very much.

Quick update — a few people asked me why "persistent blur" matters so much. Here's a real scenario: You're a teacher about to share your screen on Zoom. You blur your email sidebar, your bookmarks bar, a student's grade — then you start the call. Midway through, the page refreshes (auto-reload, accidental F5, whatever). With every other blur extension, everything is exposed. With ScreenShield, your blurs survive the reload. No panic moment. This was the #1 complaint I found across 100+ Chrome Web Store reviews of BlurWeb, ZeroBlur, and DataMask. So I made it the core feature. Would love to hear what other scenarios you'd use this for — your feedback shapes what I build next! 🙏

A little behind-the-scenes on building ScreenShield 🛠️ The entire extension is only 28KB — smaller than most favicons. Here's why that matters: → Zero performance impact on your browser → Installs in under 1 second → No external servers, no API calls, no tracking scripts Everything runs 100% locally using CSS filter:blur() and chrome.storage. Your data never leaves your machine. I built this as a solo developer from Malaysia, working 1-2 hours a day after my day job. If you find it useful, an upvote or review on the Chrome Web Store would mean the world to me. Also happy to answer any technical questions about how persistent blur works under the hood! 🔧
