## Description

WhatsApp Direct lets you start a WhatsApp chat from any webpage in a single click. It automatically detects phone numbers on sites you visit and adds a tiny “WA” chip next to them. Click the chip (or use the popup) to open the chat in WhatsApp Web or the WhatsApp app. Fast, clean, and privacy-friendly.

Key features

Auto-detect numbers on webpages and add one-click “WA” chips

Right-click → Open in WhatsApp for any selected number

Default country code setting (e.g. +92) for local numbers

How it works

On page load, the add-on scans visible text for phone-like numbers (8–15 digits; supports +, spaces, dashes, brackets).

Each match gets a small “WA” chip—click to open chat.

Use the toolbar popup to enter a number and optional message.

Use the context menu: select a number → Open in WhatsApp.
