Genea MyHeritage Auto-Blur Extension

Genea MyHeritage Auto-Blur automatically blurs sensitive items on MyHeritage pages, making it easy to create secure screenshots and screencasts. The live blurring effect takes place directly in your browser, eliminating the need for manual blurring in editing software. This tool ensures that the original text is never visible during loading and works seamlessly while refreshing or navigating different pages.
