Getting started

From install to your first blur in under two minutes.

1. Install the extension

Install BlurSite from the Chrome Web Store. It works on Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, and Opera.

2. Activate your license

After purchase you receive a license key like BM-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX by email. Open the extension popup and click Have a license key? at the bottom — that opens Settings, where you paste the key and activate it. You can also manage your license from your dashboard. Lost it? Use license recovery.

3. Blur anything

  • Blur element — click the extension icon, choose Blur element, then click anything on the page to blur it. (Shortcut: ⌥⇧B.)
  • Blur area — choose Blur area and drag a rectangle over any region. (Shortcut: ⌥⇧A.)
  • Style and strength — pick Blur, Pixelate, or Solid under “New blur style,” and drag the strength slider. Pixelate and Solid are paid-plan styles.
  • Clear all — remove every blur on the page from the popup; it asks you to confirm first.
  • Keep saved blurs — in Settings → Blur defaults, choose whether blurs are kept for the session, kept forever, or never saved across reloads.

4. Smart Scan and quick cover-ups

  • Smart Scan — click it in the popup to find emails, card numbers, and API keys on the page, then blur them all in one click.
  • Presentation mode — hides BlurSite’s toolbars and toasts while you’re sharing.
  • Privacy curtain — covers the whole page instantly. (Shortcut: ⌥⇧H.)

Managing devices

Your plan includes a fixed number of active browsers. To move to a new machine, open Dashboard → License & devices and deactivate the old browser — the slot frees up instantly.

Troubleshooting

  • Blur not showing in Zoom/Meet? Make sure you are sharing the browser window or screen — the blur is part of the page, so it always transmits.
  • “Activation limit reached”? Deactivate an unused device from your dashboard.
  • Anything else — contact support.
