StreamBlur Is Now Available on the Google Chrome Store

A Browser-Based Privacy Layer That Automatically Blurs API Keys and Sensitive Data During Live Streams and Screen Shares

StreamBlur Is Now Available on the Google Chrome Web Store

We are excited to announce that StreamBlur is now officially available on the Google Chrome Web Store.

You can install it in just a few clicks, here.

This release makes it significantly easier for developers, creators, educators, and professionals to protect sensitive information while streaming or sharing their screens.

If you are new to StreamBlur, you can learn more about the platform at streamblur.com.

What StreamBlur Does

Live demos and screen shares are high-risk environments for accidental data exposure. API keys, access tokens, credentials, internal URLs, and personal information can appear on screen for only seconds, which is often enough for compromise.

StreamBlur adds a real-time privacy layer directly inside your browser.

The Chrome extension:

  • Detects 50+ sensitive data patterns including API keys, tokens, and credentials
  • Automatically blurs sensitive text before it reaches a stream or recording
  • Runs locally on your device so data never leaves your machine
  • Allows temporary reveal with automatic re-blur when needed

You can review the full workflow here: How StreamBlur Works

The result is presentation-layer protection without requiring changes to your workflow.

Why Chrome Web Store Availability Matters

Publishing on the Chrome Web Store significantly improves accessibility and deployment.

With the extension model, you get:

  • One-click installation
  • Automatic updates through Chrome
  • Immediate browser-level protection
  • Coverage across web-based tools such as GitHub, SaaS dashboards, admin panels, CRM systems, and documentation portals

Many live demos, sales presentations, and support sessions occur inside Chrome. By operating at the browser layer, StreamBlur protects where exposure most frequently happens.

The official extension listing is available here: StreamBlur Chrome Extension

How It Works

  1. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store
  2. StreamBlur automatically monitors visible text patterns in the browser
  3. When a sensitive pattern is detected, it is blurred in real time
  4. You continue streaming or screen sharing without interruption

There is no need for duplicate scenes, manual blur filters, or tab-switch timing. Protection is continuous and automatic.

Built for Real Workflows

StreamBlur was designed for professionals who work in real environments:

  • Developers running live coding demos
  • Educators teaching software tools
  • Sales engineers presenting production dashboards
  • Content creators building in public
  • Support teams screen sharing internal systems

Instead of restructuring your demo or sanitizing environments, StreamBlur allows you to work naturally while reducing exposure risk.

What This Release Enables

The Chrome Web Store release is a major step in making presentation-layer privacy accessible and frictionless.

It simplifies adoption, ensures secure update delivery, and positions StreamBlur as a lightweight, browser-native privacy control.

We are continuing to expand:

  • Detection coverage for additional secret formats
  • Customizable per-site controls
  • Broader platform support
