Features & Capabilities

Working somewhere people can see your screen? Privacy Screen Overlay drops a solid layer over the current tab so nobody around you can read it — perfect for opening WhatsApp Web, email, or chats on a laptop in the office.

Features: • Solid overlay with adjustable opacity and any color you like (default black). • Toggle privacy on the current tab from the toolbar button or a keyboard shortcut. • Raise or lower the overlay opacity with keyboard shortcuts. • "Reveal while hovering" mode: the overlay clears while you're actively looking at the page and re-covers the instant you look away or switch tabs. • Sensitive sites list: add a domain (e.g. web.whatsapp.com) and it's covered automatically every time it loads.

Default shortcuts (all changeable at about:addons → Manage Extension Shortcuts): • Toggle privacy — Ctrl+Shift+Y • More opaque — Ctrl+Shift+. • Less opaque — Ctrl+Shift+,

Your settings stay on your device. The extension collects nothing and sends no data anywhere.

Is Privacy Screen Overlay 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.

Privacy Screen Overlay requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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.

Privacy Screen Overlay is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
