Blur: An Effective Privacy Tool for Chrome

Blur is a free Chrome extension designed to enhance user privacy by allowing users to blur any highlighted text or media on a webpage. This tool is particularly useful for individuals who want to obscure sensitive information or simply maintain a level of discretion while browsing. With a straightforward interface, users can easily highlight content and apply the blur effect using the right-click menu. Additionally, the extension offers a popup feature where users can control the intensity of the blur, providing flexibility in how content is obscured.

However, users should note that Blur has certain limitations. It cannot blur SVG icons, background images, text inputs, or any items that cannot be highlighted or selected with the mouse cursor. Despite these restrictions, Blur serves as a handy tool for those looking to protect their privacy in various online scenarios, making it a valuable addition to any user's browser toolkit.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
