Description

Celebrating 100,000 installs, we've updated your favourite browser extension with a new look and feel! Here's to many more years of blurring! Watch this space as we continue to roll out new and exciting changes. Happy Blurring! The Blur Team. We’ve all had those times when we've 'accidentally' searched for something online and ended up seeing images we didn't want to see. Or maybe you’ve experienced browsing Facebook or Instagram at work or in a public place, only to catch someone glancing at your screen. Or perhaps you just want to read an article without being distracted by all the images and videos. Well, now you can. This add-on blurs all images and videos on a webpage, so you can concentrate on what’s important. You can choose to view the content or not. To see or not to see? The choice is yours. Shortcuts: ALT + K: Blur or unblur an image or video when hovering over it ALT + L: To quickly enable or disable the extension Language Support: We now support over 5 languages including English, Mandarin, Russian, Arabic, Bangla, Hindi and Urdu. Simply change your preferences via the settings tab. Themes: Change between light and dark theme or choose the system default. Two additional fun themes have been added, install to find out what they are. Allow list: You can also white list websites, simply open the extension and add the site to your allow list! Powerusers: Power users can choose to unblur images, video or iframes. Also optionally blur shadow DOM elements.

Hardly works at all and requires turning it on each time for each site!

It was a good extension, until I had to move from Blur to Tampermonkey, because Blur, in some cases, completely fails due to lacking "!important" in the CSS that's injected. If there is some reason the author doesn't use "!important" by default, it should be made an option at the very least, and the user should be warned that it's not enabled by default.

Since the recent update, X (formerly Twitter) images and videos are no longer blurred, but it keeps blurring the UI instead. Please fix it ASAP.

The recent update has ruined a lot of the app. It now blurs entire webpages including text instead of just blurring images. Please fix this. On Telegram for example, it blurs the entire window, including all text.

I really like the simplicity of this extension. Only reason I did not give 5 stars, is because I would really like the blur setting to be unique to each site. Some sites require more blurring than others. Also, it would be nice to be able to blur images only, or videos only, and again on a site-specific level. It also does not seem to work on YouTube thumbnails, but only the channel avatars and other icons.

Does not work on the current reddit design for embedded content and comments.

It's a very nice extension to keep yourself from getting distracted however with the latest update there were some shortcuts added. the shortcut for activating the extension (ALT + L) is the same as writing the (at) email-symbol on Apple products. So now every time I want to use the ("at") I just activate/deactivate the extension and I have to copy and paste the symbol from somewhere. so its pretty much unusable for me now.
