Blurs specified areas on web pages. 1. Protect privacy and mask information Purpose: To help you surf the web in public places like work, cafes, libraries, and other places without worrying about prying eyes. Examples: Pre-obscuring images or titles that might be embarrassing to view in public, such as certain message boards or galleries on a community site. 2. Improve focus and remove distractions Purpose: To help you focus on the content by removing distracting and irritating ads, suggested videos, and unnecessary photos. Example: When reading a news article, you block out sensationalized ads or clickbait thumbnails of related articles to focus on the content of the article. On YouTube, you cover the thumbnails of shorts to avoid getting bogged down in shorts. 3. user-driven content filtering Purpose: Unlike other ad blockers or parental controls that only follow a set of rules, it gives each user the power to choose and manage everything they feel is unnecessary by “their own standards”. Example: You block yourself from the “Deal of the Day” or “Recommended for You” sections of a shopping mall to prevent shopping addiction. You cover certain areas of a website whose design you don't like to gain visual comfort. In conclusion, SafeBlur is not a program that simply ‘blocks’ something, but rather a personalized tool that empowers you to ‘decide for yourself’ what you want to see and what you don't want to see in the huge information space that is the web. - Translation by DeepL :) Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
