New Browser Tool Auto-Blurs Personal Data Using Local AI

Original: Show HN: Smart Blur – Auto-Blur PII in the Browser, with a OpenAI Local Model

A developer has launched Smart Blur, a browser-based tool that automatically detects and blurs personally identifiable information on screen, running a local OpenAI model so sensitive data never leaves the device. The release was shared with the Hacker News community, where privacy-focused developer tools regularly spark debate about whether on-device AI can reliably catch PII without slowing browsing or missing edge cases.

Why now: Growing concern over data privacy is driving interest in tools that keep personal information on-device.
