Overview
Privacy shield for GChat — blur names, previews, avatars, and more.
Shield your screen space and conversations dynamically! Blurry GChat is a premium, open-source privacy extension designed to protect sensitive workspace details on Google Chat from shoulder-surfing, accidental screen-sharing leaks, and video recordings. Whether you are working in a bustling coffee shop, sharing your window on a Zoom call, or recording a software demo, Blurry GChat gives you granular, independent control over what is visible. ✨ KEY FEATURES: 👤 Granular 3-State Controls (OFF / BLUR / HIDE) Independently manage privacy states across the Sidebar and Active Chat windows: - Names: Blurs or hides conversation list names and sender tags. - Messages: Obfuscates last message previews and live chat texts. - Avatars: Shields profile pictures, initials, and group icons. 👁️ Hover to Reveal Need a quick peak? Simply hover your mouse cursor over any blurred or hidden element to temporarily un-obfuscate it instantly. 📡 Screen Share Guard (Auto-Protect) Total peace of mind! The extension automatically applies maximum blur protection the moment your browser detects active tab capturing/sharing. Once screen sharing ends, your custom layout settings are instantly restored. 😱 Panic Mode (Instant Blur) Trigger a full-screen obfuscation instantly with a rapid hotkey combination: [Cmd/Ctrl] + [Shift] + [P] when someone unexpectedly approaches your desk. 📱 Clean Layout Enhancements - Auto-Collapse Sidebar: Shrinks the chat navigation into a ultra-minimal status strip that auto-expands on hover. - Focus Mode: Dims navigation lists to draw all your focus exclusively onto the active chat thread. 🔒 100% PRIVATE & SECURITY FIRST - Runs entirely locally inside your browser sandbox. - ZERO external server connections. - ZERO data collection, tracking, or telemetry. - Permissive open-source MIT licensed codebase. ⌨️ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS REFERENCE: - Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + L: Cycle Names Privacy states (Off -> Blur -> Hide) - Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P: Toggle Panic Mode (Full screen blur) - Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + F: Toggle Focus Mode
