About

Blur Your WhatsApp — Keep WhatsApp Web Private Anywhere

Blur Your WhatsApp helps you protect your privacy while using WhatsApp Web in public places, shared workspaces, meetings, screen sharing sessions, or tutorial recordings.

With this extension, you can blur or cover sensitive parts of WhatsApp Web such as chat messages, contact names, group names, profile photos, image previews, and media thumbnails. You can also shield the entire WhatsApp Web window when you need extra privacy.

It is designed to be simple, practical, and easy to use. You can adjust the mask strength based on your needs, whether you only want to hide small details or cover more visible information on the screen.

Features:
- Hide chat message text
- Hide chat list previews
- Mask contact and group names
- Cover profile avatars
- Cover images inside chats
- Cover media drawer thumbnails
- Shield the whole WhatsApp Web window
- Adjust mask strength
- Works locally on WhatsApp Web

Blur Your WhatsApp is useful when you are working from a café, sharing your screen in a meeting, recording a video, creating a tutorial, or using a computer where people around you may accidentally see your chats.

Your privacy stays in your browser. The extension does not send your WhatsApp data to any server. Your preferences are only stored using Chrome sync storage, so your settings can stay consistent across Chrome browsers where sync is enabled.
