Chat Privacy Screen

Chat Privacy Screen blurs names, messages, photos, and draft fields on WhatsApp Web, Telegram Web, and Arattai — and reveals them the moment you hover or focus. Nothing leaves your browser.

For open offices, screen sharing, video calls, and anywhere your screen isn't just yours.

WHAT GETS BLURRED

Control each target independently from the side panel:

• Contact names and group titles — in the sidebar and conversation header
• Message previews and conversation bubbles
• Profile photos and media thumbnails
• Your compose field — so drafts stay private too

Toggle any combination. Blur just names during a meeting. Blur everything at a coffee shop.

HOW IT WORKS

• One click or keyboard shortcut to activate — works across all three platforms at once
• Default shortcut: Alt+Shift+P on Windows/Linux, ⌥⇧P on Mac (customisable in Chrome settings)
• Hover or focus any blurred element to reveal it instantly
• Auto-lock timer (30 sec / 1 min / 5 min) arms itself when you step away
• A status badge confirms privacy is active on each platform

ZERO DATA COLLECTED

This extension applies blur with CSS — it never reads, processes, or transmits your messages or contact names. Nothing passes through the extension's code.

• No account required
• No servers, no analytics, no telemetry of any kind
• Only your toggle preferences are saved — locally, in your browser, never uploaded
• Full privacy policy: https://quietfield.in/products/chat-privacy-screen/privacy-policy/

SUPPORTED PLATFORMS

• WhatsApp Web (web.whatsapp.com)
• Telegram Web (web.telegram.org)
• Arattai (web.arattai.in)

PERMISSIONS

• storage — saves your blur preferences locally in your browser
• sidePanel — opens the settings panel when you click the toolbar icon
• Site access for each platform — injects the CSS blur filters and status badge only
