Using WhatsApp Web on your PC can be useful, particularly in shared workspaces or public places like coffee shops. But there’s a downside to this ease of use: prying eyes can snoop your conversations. To help reduce this risk and keep your messages and personal information private, get the Privacy Extension for WhatsApp Web.
Available for Chrome and Firefox web browsers, this browser extension protects the privacy of your interactions and blurs every line of text.

About Privacy Extension for WhatsApp Web:
The extension uses a blurring technique to conceal your messages and contacts, making it extremely difficult for anyone to eavesdrop on your conversations. This function excels in situations where personal space is limited, like in a shared office or coffee shop. Hovering the mouse pointer over concealed text/images reveals—a balance between accessibility and privacy.
Easy Installation and Customization
The extension installation is simple. Just get the extension, put it on your Chrome or Firefox browser, and then pin it to your toolbar.
Click the extension icon and users can simply turn the blurring feature on or off and choose which aspects, such as profile photographs, media files, and chat messages, to blur.
This adaptability improves the user experience by letting consumers customize the privacy settings to their liking.
Customization Options:
- Toggle Blurring: Use the extension icon to quickly toggle the blurring feature on or off.
- Element Selection: Choose which elements to blur, such as
- All messages in the current chat
- Last message previews on the left
- Media previews (images, videos, stickers)
- Profile pictures
- Group and user names
- Text input area (by adjusting the field color to make it harder to read)
- Media Gallery: Blur small icons of images and videos while viewing them.
- No Transition Delay: Turn off the delay before revealing an item on the hover.
- Unblur All on App Hover: Unblur all elements when you hover over the WhatsApp Web app.
Open-Source and Secure
The Privacy extension for WhatsApp Web, being an open-source extension, guarantees the collection and storage of no information about your messages or contacts. This openness is in line with the extension’s primary goal of ensuring the security of your communications, giving users who are worried about data privacy some relief.
