They make packages of slats that you feed through the chainlink, and there is also a nylon screening you put over it, but my favorite is the faux shrub stuff..... I am planning on doing this on one end of my property this summer where the house flipper exposed my property to the street..... https://www.amazon.com/s?k=chain+link+fence+privacy&crid=10FC7X5YI0H04&sprefix=chain+link+%2Caps%2C279&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_11

You might also be able to plant some vining plants such as clematis that will quickly provide privacy but not as much in the winter months.
Add privacy slats. You can do this one panel at a time and replacing these is a breeze and there is no replacing the entire thing. Being plastic all you need to do is hose them off every year.
You can buy slats that fit right in the chain link to give you privacy.

Chain Link to Privacy Fence
You can buy plastic slats to weave into the fence, also there is plastic greenery you can attach.
You could thread fabric or plastic or hose in and out the links!
They sell privacy slats but be aware that they are different from the cheaper standard slats. Another good thing is they are very difficult to remove which means put them in the first time where you want them. But that also means they would be harder to steal. They offer a lot more privacy than standard slats.
