Extension summary

The Blackout Chrome extension conceals your screen's contents by creating a protective overlay with a small visible area that follows your mouse. The overlay and visible area are both customisable and provide a powerful tool to protect your screen's visibility, wherever you are, no matter who is around.

Ideal for privacy-conscious users and professionals, Blackout offers a unique way to keep your on-screen data private, even in public spaces.

For even more control and the ability to use Blackout across all your apps, look out for Blackout Desktop on Mac and Windows (coming soon).
