About this extension

Redacts user-specified target words across web pages with customizable visual glitch and blackout effects.

Read the publisher’s full description

Take complete control of your web browsing environment with The Redactor, a light-speed, client-side DOM sanitization extension that obscures, mutates, or replaces target text vectors in real-time. ⚙️Core Protocol Modes 🕶️CIA [Blackout]: Heavy chisel-tip marker strokes with organic edge bleed and paper-grain slant for maximum classified aesthetic. 👾Glitch [Corrupt]: Animated liquid SVG displacement with erratic shaky-hand micro-tremors and ink smearing. 💨Smoke [Obfuscate]: Low-frequency vaporous spectral filters with floating drift animations that dissolve target text into fluid mist. 👁️Conspiracy [Pattern]: Compact repeating-linear-gradient warning stripes that compress line-height and obscure target text boundaries. 🗞️Tabloid [Sensational]: Automatically replaces targeted proper nouns with high-impact "SCANDAL!" headlines. 🌈Fun [Rainbow]: Vibrantly masked linear gradient text channels for casual content filtering. 🚀Engine Highlights 🎯User-Defined Target Vectors: You dictate exactly what gets redacted; input comma-separated target terms in the popup HUD to immediately sanitize web pages. 📊Live Visual Telemetry: Track session counts and lifetime redaction metrics directly inside the control card. ⚡Real-Time DOM Monitoring: Powered by an asynchronous MutationObserver engine that processes dynamic web content, infinite scrolls, and shadow DOM elements without page lag. 🔒100% On-Device Privacy: All settings, custom words, and telemetry logs are stored strictly inside your browser's local storage—zero external tracking or remote servers.
