Google Privacy Shade: Protect Your Screen From Prying Eyes

Google Privacy Shade is a chrome extension made to ensure user privacy on screen. It obscures the inactive parts of your screen, making your emails or messages invisible to snoopers when you're browsing. It's a useful tool for those who are always on the go or working in crowded places where confidential information can easily be seen by others. The extension also allows you to control the transparency of the screen, providing adaptable privacy settings to match your preference.
