User reviews

Discord Blur falls short of its promise to enhance privacy on Discord. While it claims to blur messages until hovered over, users find the blurring effect inconsistent and unreliable. Despite convenient features like keyboard shortcuts, the extension's performance leaves much to be desired. Overall, it's a promising concept that fails to deliver on functionality.

Does its intended purpose and I am 30 percent less distracted than before, because I don't look at chat as often.
