WhatsApp Web Privacy Blur

About

WhatsApp Web Privacy Blur enhances your privacy while using WhatsApp Web. It blurs messages, profile pictures, contact names, media previews, and text input to prevent shoulder surfing. Hover over any blurred element to reveal it temporarily. Features include a screen lock with password protection, auto-lock timer, and a keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift+L). All data is stored locally — nothing is sent to external servers.
