Overview

Protect your privacy and take control of your WhatsApp Web experience with WhatsApp Blur Pro. Whether you're working in a shared office, sitting in a cafe, or sharing your screen on a video call, this extension hides sensitive information at a glance and reveals it only when you want.

🔑 Features

👀 Privacy Blur Options:
- Blur contact and group names in the chat list.

🖱️ Hover to Reveal: Move your cursor over any blurred element to read it, then it blurs again when you move away.

🎛️ Per-Feature Toggles: Switch each blur target on or off from the popup — pick exactly what you want to hide.

🔐 Zero Data Collection: Everything runs locally in your browser. No accounts, no tracking, no servers.

🌐 Lightweight & Fast: Pure CSS blur, no scraping or message parsing. WhatsApp Web stays as responsive as always.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the extension send my messages anywhere?
A: No. All blurring is done locally with CSS inside your browser. The extension only stores your own settings — no messages, contacts, or media ever leave your device.

Q: Can I choose exactly what gets blurred?
A: Yes. Open the popup and toggle each target individually — chat list names, previews, avatars, open-chat messages, media previews, media gallery, and the text input.

Q: How do I read a blurred message?
A: Hover your cursor over it. The blur fades out while you hover and returns when you move away. You can also enable "Unblur while cursor is over WhatsApp" to clear everything at once.

Q: Can I turn blurring off quickly?
A: Yes. Press Alt+Shift+P or click the toolbar icon to toggle the master switch instantly.

Q: Will it slow down WhatsApp Web?
A: No. The extension uses lightweight CSS class toggles, not message interception, so performance is unaffected.

Q: What permissions does it need?
A: Only "storage", used to save your preferences locally. It does not read messages or access any other site.

Whether you're working in a shared office, presenting on a call, studying in public, or just browsing at home, WhatsApp Blur Pro is your privacy companion for WhatsApp Web.
