Automatically blurs sensitive elements on Ancestry for screenshots and screencasts.
Genea Ancestry AutoBlur automatically blurs identifying information on Ancestry.com, making it easy to create public demonstrations, live streams and recorded screencasts.
The live blurring effect takes place directly in your browser, eliminating the need for editing software. This tool works seamlessly while refreshing or navigating different pages.
If you notice any place that is not being blurred, please contact me at [email protected].
