I hacked together a small Chrome extension called ElementBlur that lets you blur stuff on a webpage in 3 ways:
– Select text → blur only the highlighted text
– Click element → blur entire DOM element
– Draw region → free-form blur with a rectangle
I was inspired by a few Product Hunt tools Blur It, Blurweb, but all of them are paid or require a license. So I thought: why not just build an open source version? With some help from Claude 4, I got it working.
This is super handy for screenshots, screen recordings, or sharing sensitive info without exposing everything.
Would love feedback! Any bugs or edge cases I missed? Features you’d like (hotkeys, persistent settings, export)?
