Show HN: I created a Chrome extension for secure screen sharing
Hi HN Community, Its been a year since I am working on a chrome extension that focusses on securely sharing screen. The pandemic took lots of businesses to remote work and screen sharing has been happening more than ever.

When we share screen, we are actually showing all the tabs, the message notifications, the apps we use and its like giving a picture of our whereabouts to everyone.

This thought or I would say the insecurity of sharing my privacy was the triggering point of creating ALLURT. I tend to share screen a lot and I spend couple of minutes making sure that the private tabs are closed and the bookmarks are hidden as I feel uncomfortable showing it to the world.

What ALLURT is offering right now, 1. Review tabs before sharing screen and close any single or all tabs except the current one thus saving your time that you tend to spend in reviewing the tabs. 2. Hide bookmarks automatically when you share screen and bring it back once screen sharing ends. 3. Put the browser in DO NOT DISTURB mode automatically to provide you a distraction free environment to present your work.

What's next, 1. Customized features that you can set up according to the privacy you need for yourself during screen sharing. 2. A full fledged application that will cover many other platforms like zoom, MS Teams etc.

ALLURT is very useful for software engineers, sales persons and entrepreneurs. Most of our users are software engineers.

I am focussing on bringing in more features and users. Your valuable feedback (good or bad) would help me make positive changes to the extension.

Thank You.
