"Don't Show": Custom Privacy Extension to Hide Sensitive Info During Screen Sharing

Business Idea:
A browser extension called “Don’t Show” that acts as a customizable privacy filter, allowing users to automatically hide sensitive or unwanted information during screen sharing or browsing to prevent accidental data exposure.

Problem:
People often unintentionally reveal personal or sensitive information during screen shares or online browsing, causing stress, embarrassment, or potential privacy risks.

Solution:
A simple, user-friendly browser extension enabling users to set custom rules, using text or regex patterns, to automatically hide specified content on any webpage—ensuring privacy during screen sharing.

Target Audience:
Remote workers, freelancers, students, gamers, and anyone frequently sharing screens or worried about accidental data leaks.

Monetization:
Freemium model offering basic features for free; premium plans could include advanced pattern rules, cloud syncing, or additional customization options.

Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Straightforward, customizable privacy filtering that works silently in the background—unique for its flexibility to hide anything describable by text or patterns, without heavy setup or complex tools.

Launch Strategy:
Start with a minimal viable product (MVP) by releasing a simple version on Chrome and Firefox stores, gather user feedback via surveys and demo videos, then iterate based on needs before expanding features.
