Features & Capabilities

WA Privacy Blur automatically blurs sensitive content on WhatsApp Web to protect your privacy from shoulder-surfing.

What gets blurred: • Chat list — contact/group names, last message previews, avatars • Header — contact/group name and profile picture • Profile drawer — name, about, phone number • Message bubbles — text content and media • Group chat — sender names

Everything stays blurred until you hover your mouse over it — then it smoothly reveals. Move away and it blurs again.

No data collection. No accounts. No tracking. All processing happens locally in your browser. Open source.

Is WA Privacy Blur 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.

WA Privacy Blur requires a few sensitive permissions. 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 Add-ons Store, 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.

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