Text Blurrer Extension

Blur text/keywords you specified in web pages. When you need to stream or record using your web browser, you can hide your sensitive information i.e. email, account name, address etc by blurring.

You can use regular expression to blur keywords by enabling `Use Regular Expression` button.
And if you want to switch the blur mode between `case sensitive` and `case insensitive`, you can use `Match Case` button.

If you face an issue with this extension, please provide information and reproducing steps on the following page.

Yuki Hattori (ID: 000000e28ebce264) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/31/2023 This is a great extension. I had a hard time keeping personal information, IDs, etc. invisible when demonstrating to my customers or at the events. This is the solution.
