Privo - Your Privacy in Your Hands
Privo is the easiest way to take hold of your privacy and combat nosy people, no matter where you are.
🕵️♀️ It takes a screen-stalker less than 1 second to destroy your privacy, and know exactly what you are currently doing on the internet.
🤕 Problem is, this can have HUGE implications on you depending on where you are.
Take for example workplace 👩💻
People have a tendency to generalize. It takes a work-colleague of yours a couple of times to see you browsing a non-work-related article, checking Reddit, or Facebook to describe you as a "slacker".
👨✈️ In dictatorships, people can lose their jobs or even go to jail because they were seen browsing an article on a website that opposes the ruling government.
The same could happen to news reporters.
Privo is here to fix that. 💪
Privo wraps the content you want to consume in another website (that you also pick) so that you can do what you want while giving the stalker what they want to see.
Just as a VPN makes you seem as if you were browsing the internet from another country, Privo makes you seem as if you were browsing a different website that you picked beforehand (we call these “templates”).
It is your new VPN on the browser-level. 🌍
How to use Privo?
- Open a webpage or an article (let’s say a CNN article).
- Select some text on the page, then double click on “mouse middle click”, or right-click then select “Go Privo”.
- And voila! Your article is now wrapped within one of your safe websites (templates).
🎁 Features:
✔︎ Unlimited templates (safe websites).
✔︎ Unlimited number of usages (we call that “Going Privo”).
✔︎ Automatic page content detection.
✔︎ Randomize using templates.
✔︎ Mouse and & keyboard shortcuts.
✔︎ Filter out photos and videos.
✔︎ And many more.
FAQs:
1- Does Privo facilitate cheating in the workplace?
Absolutely NOT. That is not the intention behind building Privo.
The idea of the extension is basically to correct the human bias towards generalization and give you back your lost privacy.
Everybody has the right to surf the internet privately, no matter where they are. So the intention here is to provide you a way to combat oppression wherever it exists.
Talking about using Privo at the workplace, at the end of the day, the performance of an employee should NOT be gauged against what s/he is seen to be doing but rather against her/his achievements.
2- What browsers are supported?
Privo supports Google Chrome and Brave now. There are plans to support Firefox and Safari in the future.
