Features & Capabilities

Obfuscate is a Chrome extension designed to protect your privacy by making webpage text unreadable without altering the page structure. When sharing screenshots, you can hide sensitive or personal information effortlessly. Simply activate the extension by clicking its button or pressing Alt+Shift+O. You can choose to obfuscate the entire page or a selected portion of text, making privacy management quick and customizable.

This tool uses a unique obfuscating font developed by Dan Ross, ensuring that the original layout remains intact while the text becomes unreadable. The idea originated from @maris, emphasizing user privacy in web content sharing. Obfuscate is ideal for users who want to share web content while safeguarding confidential details.

Is Obfuscate Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Obfuscate does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Obfuscate has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
