Deborah Chiang-Harris (ID: 00000063c57de437) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/10/2023 doesn't work very well after latest update. 90% of the time nothing happens when I click enable, only way I know to fix is to reinstall the extension, but it stops working the next time. edit: update was reverted, working well again!

Sarfaraj (ID: 00000030e2f61f6b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/09/2023 wow. It quickly blur all the content

Conrad Kreutzer (ID: 000000cbff2063e6) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/15/2023 Great for quickly blurring things out and adjusting the level of blurriness, but the feature where you can hover over an image and it will appear isn't working for me anymore.

Bart Blaak (ID: 000000b64c1dc9ce) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/30/2023 Neat app! One issue I'm experiencing: I cannot get the hover to unblur functionality to work, neither on Chrome nor Edge. I have no succes with the keyboard shortcut ALT + K either. Extension version: 3.0.0 Edge version: 118.0.2048.1 (dev channel) Chrome version: 116.0.5845.141 Some feedback for possible future improvements: - Reddit videos do not get blurred. - An image doesn't get blurred if you're viewing it via its direct link.
