WebChats Incognito Mode is a Chrome extension designed to safeguard your online chat privacy. It enables you to blur out private conversations across multiple popular web chat clients such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram. By activating incognito mode, all chat content on the screen remains hidden and only becomes visible when you deliberately hover your mouse over it.

This simple yet effective tool prevents sensitive chat content from being seen by people who might pass by your computer, ensuring your conversations stay confidential without interrupting your workflow. If you use web-based messaging platforms and want to maintain privacy effortlessly, this extension is a practical solution.

Extension safety

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.

WebChats Incognito mode requires very minimum permissions.
