## Description

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. <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/77a8f01b7b786d868a6f7e344e7a4b2f345bce473952c84d5992fc5ae20e6a33/http%3A//web.whatsapp.com" rel="nofollow">web.whatsapp.com</a>) 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.
