Protect your browser privacy while screen sharing, streaming, or browsing. Works with Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Edge, and all Chromium-based browsers.
Hey Product Hunters 😸,
Long time no see. I'm Goksu, the founder of Blurs, and I’m excited to introduce you to a tool that protects your browser privacy.
🤔 What is Blurs?
You know how a remote meeting with your team or a client goes, especially when you have to share your screen. Do I have any tabs with sensitive information? Maybe I didn't close THAT page. What if the client sees this or that information?
If you are a streamer/content creator, you face similar challenges as well. Let's say you are shooting a nice YouTube video; but you will have to blur or filter out some sensitive information. Usually you'd deal with that during post-production, which is such a waste of time.
Well, nevermore 🐦⬛.
Blurs is a browser extension that protects your browser privacy while screen sharing, streaming, or browsing, with different filtering options and modes.
It works on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and any Chromium-based browser of your choice, Microsoft Edge approval still pending though 😅
You can select any element on a page, and apply one of three different filtering options – Blur, Solid Box, or Pixelation – or just draw a fixed position filter on your page as you wish. The world is your canvas after all.
For those who might need stronger browsing privacy, Blurs comes with a Safe Mode feature. Turning on Safe Mode adds a high density blur filter on all tabs, and you can disable Safe Mode for any page easily.
👨💻 Who could benefit from Blurs?
In my opinion, there are at least five user groups that could get huge benefits from Blurs, and I am kinda confident you are in at least one.
1. Professionals in virtual meetings: Blurs can help you prevent accidental information leaks.
2. Content creators and streamers: By filtering out unwanted elements, Blurs can minimize the time spent on editing or obscuring sensitive information during post-production.
3. Remote workers handling sensitive information: For remote employees or freelancers dealing with sensitive information, Blurs can help keep work data private during video calls or presentations.
4. Educators and trainers: Educators sharing learning materials, or educational resources on-screen can use Blurs to filter out non-relevant information, protect personal information, and provide a cleaner, distraction-free presentation for students.
5. Privacy-concerned individuals: Anyone concerned with protecting their browsing privacy can use Blurs to keep their personal details to themselves.
🤓 What benefits does Blurs bring to you?
1. Enhanced privacy: Protect yourself from sharing private or sensitive data during screen sharing and streaming sessions.
2. Save time on post-production: Reduce the need for post-production editing for screen recording and taking screenshots.
3. Complete control over your browser: Gain fine-tuned control over what parts of your browser to blur or filter.
4. Better screen sharing experience: Remove the risk of sharing personal, business, or sensitive information during meetings.
😻 What features does Blurs have?
1. Custom filter types: Filters like pixelation, blurs, or solid boxes for customized and enhanced privacy.
2. Sticky filters: With filters that stick to the screen, you can spend more time on your work and less on hiding your screen.
3. Safe mode for your browser: Enabling safe mode blurs all tabs for maximum privacy.
4. Filter once, use always: Re-use your saved blurs and filters automatically.
💲 Pricing
As Blurs is a browser extension that runs solely on your browser, I think that it is only fair to have a “pay once, use forever” pricing model. Having a subscription model makes zero sense for Blurs, after all.
I already implemented a 50% discount for the first 20 users, reducing Blurs’ price from $99.99 + VAT to $49.99 + VAT; but to celebrate Blurs’ ProductHunt launch, I am adding another discount of 20% on top of that.
🎁 Use promo code PH20 to get a 20% discount
This promo code brings Blurs’ price from $99.99 + VAT to $39.99 + VAT; though note that it will be valid only for one week.
With this, Blurs is officially launched on ProductHunt 🥳. Party time!
🙏 Thank you
Many thanks for supporting Blurs. I couldn’t appreciate it enough.
I will be around all day, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Additionally, I’d be delighted to hear about your thoughts, feedback – basically anything on Blurs, your browsing habits and browsing privacy. If you’d like to get in direct touch, you can also send an email to [email protected], or get in touch with me on X.
Hopefully, you will find Blurs useful and love using it ❤️.
Until the next launch, so long and thanks for all the fish.
