Account Balance Masker Extension

A chrome extension which enables masking of account balances when visiting certain financial websites such as RBC, and Tangerine. This extension helps to provide additional privacy when doing your everyday banking in a browser.

You can now feel more secure when doing your banking in public or even at home (never know who may be peeking over your shoulder).

WHAT:
- Masks the account balances upon loading the webpage of the supported financial banking websites (is shown as \"****\").
- Unmasks the account balance by simply hovering over masked balance so you can see the original value.
- No external tracking of the masked values. Everything remains within the browser (your data is yours and yours alone).

WHY:
- Privacy: This extension is useful for those who wish to have more privacy when doing their everyday banking in a browser in public or even at home (never know who may be peeking over your shoulder).
- Such a simple thing for a developer to make: I wanted to make something simple and useful for the community and even though this is very simple for most Financial Institutions to implement they can be slow to do so. So until then this can be the next best thing :)

HOW:
Account Balance Masker modifies HTML (ONLY) on the supported financial pages.
By leveraging the `manifest.json` file we can specify which websites this extension will be enabled on. This is done by specifying the `matches` property in the `manifest.json` file which ensures this extension is only running code enabled on the specified websites and not on any others. This will then scan for specific elements on the page and replace the text with a masked value (****). It then watches for specific elements to appear on the page to then modify each element's HTML.

Need to see your original balance? No problem! Simply hover over the masked balance and it will be replaced with the original value.

Just set it and forget it. Simple, easy and effective.

Ready to give it a try? Download the Account Balance Masker extension today and enjoy an extra layer of privacy while doing your everyday banking in the browser.
