Screen\text bluring in Devuan

Hello everyone!

May i ask if someone knows open-source software OR addon for Cinnamon (an other graphical enterface) exists that can blur: headers of windows\text\pictures inside any current open running program?

For example i open Matrix client in caffe, or any other program, but people around seeing text and pictures....

Wish i can blure it untill i not point my mouse to some square (for example 5x10 cantimeters) or last message\last text lines in line?

Thanksss!

I'd get one of those physical laptop privacy screens, the kind that you can only see the screen if it's right directly in front of you.  Any views from an angle are black.

Know about it, thanks. It's useless because in co-working spaces people sometimes get to close and straight...

Closest what i found by code is -> https://github.com/LukasLen/Privacy-Ext … atsApp-Web

The solution is to not view private things in public places.

Selective hiding/masking the screen only limits what a momentary glance can see - it doesn't protect you from someone who is continually watching (or filming) your screen.

Very accurately and correctly said!
