Overview

Priv WhatsApp Web is a premium, lightweight privacy utility designed to secure your WhatsApp Web screen from prying eyes in public spaces, offices, or shared spaces.

The extension automatically blurs your chat messages, sidebar preview messages, group/usernames, profile pictures, media previews, and text input areas. Blurred elements are instantly revealed with a smooth hover effect only when you move your mouse cursor over them.
