Privacy Filter for WhatsApp Web
Download Install Compare

WhatsApp Privacy Filter is a lightweight and open-source Chrome extension designed to enhance your privacy on WhatsApp Web. It provides a robust blurring feature that can be customized to blur various elements including recent message headers, avatars, timestamps, sender names, message content, ticks, chat box titles, and the message input box. The blurring feature is toggleable via a shortcut or a toggle button, giving users control over when privacy is enabled.

The extension also supports a full-screen experience without padding for better usability and includes a pop-out button that allows WhatsApp Web to be opened outside the browser window. This combination of features makes it a safe, easy-to-use tool to maintain your privacy while chatting online.
