## Description

Haze lets you blur, scratchcard, or hide any element on any website - and reveal it on demand.

Point at something you don't want to see, pick it, and Haze conceals it. Hover (or click) to peek, or hide it outright. Flip the master switch to bring everything back instantly. Your rules are remembered per site, and editable right from the toolbar popup.

WHAT IT'S FOR
- Spoilers - scores, episode counts, results, plot details
- Ratings & reviews - decide for yourself before you see the number
- Prices - shop without anchoring
- Social counts - hide likes, followers, view counts
- Screen-sharing privacy - blur API keys, balances, or personal info before you present
- Sensitive or NSFW imagery
- Anything else you'd rather not see until you choose to

THREE WAYS TO CONCEAL
- Blur - a soft blur you can peek behind
- Scratchcard - blur plus an opaque cover; hover or click to scratch it off
- Hide - remove the element from the page entirely

HOW IT WORKS
- Click the Haze icon, then "Pick element to blur"
- Move your mouse to the target; use the up / down arrows to widen or tighten the selection
- Choose blur, scratchcard, or hide - and hover or click to reveal
- Tweak or toggle any rule right in the popup, or manage everything (per rule, per site, or globally) in the options page
- Export and import your rules as JSON

BUILT-IN RULE
Haze is the successor to "Hide Ratings" and ships with one ready-made rule that blurs the review stars and ratings in Google Search results. Toggle it off if you don't want it, or build your own rules on any site with the picker.

PRIVACY
Haze does not collect, sell, or transmit any data. Your rules and settings live in your browser (synced by your browser account if you use sync). Haze only runs on sites you explicitly allow - it asks for access to a site the first time you pick an element there.
