User Reviews

cool extension. thanks.

by Ma*****, 2026-04-14

Simple and effective. I noticed that, when slightly tired, I tend to regularly click on the bloody status button in spite of NOT being interested at all in people's self glorifications. That had to stop and this solves the problem once and (hopefully) for all.

my friend recommended me this extension, really nice, even WhatsApp has a lot of bloat these days. and i agree with the other reviewer, even Gifs can become a distraction in a conversation. would be nice to have that removed. anyways, thank you!

Is Hide WhatsApp Web Buttons Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Hide WhatsApp Web Buttons requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
