Está me atendendo perfeitamente. Preciso fazer demonstrações de programas na qual quero preservar o nome dos usuários. Com essa ferramenta eu seleciono nome do usuário como uma lista proibida e durante a apresentação ao vivo ele automaticamente borra os nomes que selecionei. Excelente!

Many a times it becomes a headache to blur sensitive information of web pages in video editing software. Especially when the webpage is moving/dynamic then blur function doesn't work properly all the time revealing sensitive information while editing in video editing software and as a result lot of time is wasted. This chrome extension is an excellent hack to overcome this pain. Works effortlessly and the "Hover" enable/disable function is well thought out. Even when webpage is reloaded it captures with the same accuracy
