VEIL - Virtual Enhanced Identity Layer - Chrome Extension

by

After lurking here for months and learning from all your discussions, I decided to build something to solve a problem that's always bugged me.

The Problem:

Every privacy extension treats all websites the same. Your banking site gets the same protection protecting protection level as a random blog. This leads to either over-blocking (breaking sites) or under-protecting(gaps).(privacy gaps).

My Solution: VEIL - an extension that provides context-aware privacy protection.

How it works:- time- Analyses website risk profiles in real-time- category- Automatically adjusts blocking levels based on site category- are- Shows privacy scores so you know exactly how protected you are- customisable- Zero configuration needed, but fully customisable

scenarios:

Example scenarios:

policies- Banking sites: Maximum tracker blocking, strict cookie policies- readability

News sites: Balanced approach to maintain readability- prevention

Social media: Focused on data collection prevention- priority

Shopping: Payment protection priority.

I've been testing it personally for 3 months

Questions for you:

1. What privacy features matter most in your daily browsing?

2. Have you experienced the "all-or-nothing" frustration with current tools?

3. Any specific website categories you'd want custom protection for?

Happy to answer technical questions about the implementation too!
