🛡️ PrivacyShield: Instant Screen Privacy
PrivacyShield is a simple but powerful Chrome extension that helps protect your privacy when you need to step away from your computer or when someone approaches your desk.
🔍 How It Helps
Have you ever been in a situation where:
👀 A coworker unexpectedly walks up behind you?
💻 You need to quickly leave your desk during a sensitive task?
☕ You're working in a public space and want to protect your information?
PrivacyShield instantly covers your entire browser tab with a neutral dark screen when your cursor leaves the tab or when you switch to another application. The moment you return, your content is immediately visible again.
✅ Perfect For:
🏢 Office workers handling sensitive information
📚 People working in public spaces like cafes or libraries
🔒 Anyone who values their privacy and doesn't want others to see what they're working on
⏱️ Situations where you need to quickly step away from your computer
💡 How It's Different
Unlike traditional screen lockers that require manual activation, PrivacyShield works automatically when you move your cursor away from the browser tab. This means you don't have to remember to lock your screen - it happens instantly, giving you peace of mind without interrupting your workflow.
The subtle loading animation gives the impression that you're simply waiting for content to load rather than deliberately hiding something, making it a discreet way to maintain your privacy.
🚀 Simple to Use
Just install the extension, click its icon, and toggle it on. That's it! Now you can browse with confidence knowing your screen will automatically be protected when you need it.
