BlurWeb Alternative: BlurFirst (Adds Automatic PII Detection)
BlurFirst is the more complete choice — it does everything BlurWeb’s manual element blur does, then adds one-click automatic PII detection and a strict local-only guarantee. BlurWeb remains a solid, well-reviewed pick if you only need manual blur.
What BlurWeb does well
BlurWeb lets you blur any element or object on a web page and works across Zoom, Google Meet, Teams and Loom because it changes the page itself. It's well rated and does manual blur reliably.

Why BlurFirst wins
- Automatic detection. BlurWeb is manual; BlurFirst's Scan finds emails, phone numbers, cards, SSNs and API keys in one click.
- Local guarantee. Detection and blur both run in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
- Panic blur + per-page persistence for the messy moments mid-call.
