Install the developer ZIP

  1. Download Veil and extract the ZIP into a folder.
  2. Open chrome://extensions in Chrome and turn on Developer mode.
  3. Select Load unpacked and choose the extracted folder containing manifest.json.
  4. Pin Veil using Chrome’s Extensions menu, then open an ordinary webpage.

Troubleshooting

Nothing is blurred on my page

Open Veil’s popup and check that Master Protection and the relevant sensitivity category are enabled. In Settings, check that the domain is not excluded. Check Chrome’s extension site-access settings, then reload the page.

Veil does not work on a Chrome settings page

Chrome internal pages, the Chrome Web Store, and other browser-restricted pages block extension content scripts. Try a regular website. For local files, enable Allow access to file URLs in Veil’s extension details.

A sensitive value was missed

Automatic detection matches structured patterns and may miss some values. Use element, text, or area blur for anything else, or add a custom regex in Settings. Review your screen before sharing.

Something is blurred that I want to show

Reveal a value using the configured click or hover action, disable its category, or exclude the domain in Settings. Peek All temporarily reveals masked values; avoid using it while sharing sensitive content.

How do I clear saved manual blurs?

Use Clear All in the floating toolbar on that page. Saved manual element and area blurs are associated with the page’s origin and path. Removing the extension clears its local extension storage.

Does Veil send my page content anywhere?

No. Redaction runs locally. Settings and manual blur locations are stored in Chrome’s local extension storage. See the privacy policy for details.

Can I report a bug safely?

Record your Chrome version, Veil version, the steps that caused the issue, and any extension error message. Use synthetic example data and remove credentials and personal information from screenshots.
