Raftel AI (ID: 00000083cef9f95b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/26/2023 the URL Locker is absolutely fntastic! The ability to lock specific urls with password is awesome. Day before I was managing few photos in google photos and forgot to close the tabs. Next day I had to screenshare at work. All my personal selfies were there in photos and while switching tab my colleagues also saw those photos. Highly recommended for anyone using same machine for work and personal use. It helps from not getting embarrassed while screensharing.
