WhatsApp Web Mobile Adapter Firefox

WhatsApp Web Mobile Adapter

By: Mahesh Add-on
[Unofficial] Adapts WhatsApp Web for mobile browser by spoofing as PC and applying mobile-friendly overrides

Features & Capabilities

WhatsApp Web is handy cause it doesn't sign out from the existing device. But on mobile, we can't access it. This extension helps with that. It uses the existing WhatsApp Web, spoofs as a PC, and customizes it to get a better preview on mobile.

Directions: On Android (via Firefox browser)

  1. Install the browser and install this extension.
  2. Visit the site "web.whatsapp.com" and sign in.
  3. Now the UI should be mobile-friendly.

On iPhone (via Orion browser by Kagi)

  1. Install the browser and install this extension.
  2. Open Orion, go to Settings -> Privacy ->User Agent -> Custom and paste the below without any quotes "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:148.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/148.0"
  3. Visit the site "web.whatsapp.com" and sign in.
  4. Now the UI should be mobile-friendly.

Note: WhatsApp will redirect to "web.whatsapp.com/mobile" if the "Desktop site" or the "User agent" was not changed, so make sure to go back to "web.whatsapp.com" after updating.

Is WhatsApp Web Mobile Adapter 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.

WhatsApp Web Mobile Adapter 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 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.

WhatsApp Web Mobile Adapter is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
