Description from store

Blur Private Tabs protects your privacy by automatically blurring sensitive browser tabs whenever you switch windows or move away from them. Perfect for work, school, or shared spaces where you want to keep private information hidden from view.

With one click, you can enable “Blur this tab when inactive.” When activated, the extension applies a smooth, full-page blur overlay whenever the tab loses focus or the window becomes inactive. When you return, the blur fades away instantly so you can continue working without interruptions.

Each tab remembers its own setting thanks to chrome.storage.sync. This means you can choose exactly which tabs should be protected without affecting the rest of your browsing.

The blur effect is lightweight, fast, and never interferes with buttons, forms, or page functionality. It’s purely visual privacy protection.
