Modula Image Guardian (formerly known as Right Click Protection) is a premium extension designed to safeguard your creative work by preventing visitors from easily downloading images.
This extension will help you by:
- disabling the right-click and Alt+click options making it challenging for users to download images directly. Additionally, it restricts the use of CTRL+U, preventing users from viewing the page's source code.
- blurring your gallery images when focus is moved from the actual browser window.
- blocking page printing, this also triggers a blur to be applied to your images.
- protecting the image URLs by changing the default path to the image.
This guide covers the installation process for the Modula Image Guardian extension and provides instructions on how to activate and use this protective feature.
