## Description

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.
