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

I downloaded a few chrome extensions in search of a blur tool. This was definitely the best approach after getting the hang of it, especially because of the onHover element selection method with really clear boundaries. I was trying to blur specific iFrame elements inside of a modal and other tools would only allow for blurring the whole modal or otherwise the non-iFrame elements. Great job to the dev!
