Telegram Blur

Blur and Hides your messages on Telegram until you hover over them.

Telegram Blur is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your privacy on Telegram Web by blurring messages and sensitive content until you hover over them. It helps prevent shoulder surfing and keeps your private chats safe while using Telegram in public spaces.

With customizable options, Telegram Blur lets you blur all chat messages, message previews, images, videos, stickers, profile pictures, names, and even lighten input fields to reduce readability. Toggle the blur effect easily with a keyboard shortcut (Alt+X) or through the extension menu. You can also disable or customize delays for revealing content, making Telegram Blur adaptable to your privacy preferences.

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.

Telegram Blur requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Telegram Blur may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
