WhatsApp Privacy Blur od Nyihui

Protect your WhatsApp privacy in public spaces, offices, or cafes. Automatically blur sensitive chat information and reveal it only when you hover your mouse.

Unlike other extensions that break every time WhatsApp updates, this extension is actively maintained and built to fully support the latest WhatsApp Web UI changes.

Two Privacy style
- Blur: A frosted-glass effect that actively tracks the screen for the beauti-perfect privacy.
- Redacted: Solid color blocks to the text elements for zero readability.

1. Profile Pictures
2. Names & Group Titles
