Features & Capabilities

The Web Messenger Chrome extension allows users to access the official WhatsApp Web service within a convenient, standalone sandboxed window accessible from the browser toolbar.

Key features include a sandboxed window for enhanced security and isolation, control over notification sounds to ensure silent or audible alerts, and a badge counter displayed on the browser action button for quick glance updates. The app serves as a streamlined interface to access WhatsApp Web more easily, adhering strictly to official services without misleading users about its affiliation. It helps users efficiently manage their WhatsApp conversations directly from their browser interface.

Is Web Messenger 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.

Web Messenger 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.
