If someone is going to reconstruct words in your screenshots, then you got problems that aren't going to be solved by any plugins
please elaborate
No chrome?
lol who uses chrome
Nice idea! Looks like spaces are preserved, and the bar lengths seem to match the world length. Is that the case? I didn't measure it precisely and didn't check the source code. If so you might want to add some random noise. Sometimes it might be possible to reconstruct parts of the text just based on the word lengths.
Maybe that's something that should be mentioned in the description though, just in case.

Yep, really all it does is change the font! And blur images that have alt texts, which supposedly can also be reversible. Probably best not to use it for classified government docs :)
* {font-family:wingdings !important;}

Not yet, unfortunately, since Chrome broke compatibility with other browsers for new extensions. (Specifically: it now mandates "Manifest V3" for new extensions, which Firefox is still implementing (it basically has to follow what Chrome is doing, given Chrome's reach). Once Manifest V3 works on more browsers, I should be able to relatively easily upgrade, and then support Chrome as well.) Edit: oh, I should probably…
I don't see any breaking changes here.

For an extension like this, I don't think you need to change much besides just putting "manifest_version": 3 in your manifest.json I don't see any breaking changes here.

In FireFox people can get a similar effect with F12 -> Style Editor -> * {font-family:wingdings !important;} Or in Chrome, F12 -> Elements -> Styles on the right -> Fight with Chrome's interface.

It's compatibility with other browsers that would be broken; Firefox can't install extensions with "manifest_version": 3 in their manifest.json yet without a flag.
I wasn't clear enough in my comment, I was suggesting you can make a branch in your project repository for chrome. Make the change only there until Firefox supports MV3.
