Hide secrets is a browser extension that automatically detects and masks secrets and personally identifiable information in webpages— Tokens, API keys, emails, phone numbers, credit cards and any other high-entropy strings— by blurring or replacing the text. It's completely open sourced https://github.com/Ved235/hide-secrets. Any feedback and contributions are appreciated!

It isn't possible to hide content loaded or displayed by a browser, and this is by design. All you're doing is covering it on the screen but someone who wants a key will just immediately open the dev console.

Yes, precisely this solution covers them on screen as the intended problem to solve is accidental secrets leak during screenshares and other such scenarios
