Privacy Extension For WhatsApp Web
Hides your messages until you hover over them.
To increase privacy in public spaces the Privacy Extension For WhatsApp⢠Web blurs your messages. Your messages and other content only reveals upon hovering over with your mouse cursor. Additionally you can quickly toggle all effects by using a keyboard shortcut or by clicking the toggle button in the extension menu.
It adapts to your needs by letting you decide which elements you want to blur. Most important options:
- All messages in chat: Blurs all messages in the current chat.
- Last messages preview: Blurs all message previews on the left.
- Media preview: Blurs all images, videos, stickers, ... in separation from the text.
- Profile pictures: Blurs all profile pictures.
An extended list of features can be found on our page: https://pfwa.lukaslen.com/
Quick Toggle: Use the keyboard shortcut to quickly toggle the extension on or off (Default: Alt+X). To change this navigate to: "chrome://extensions/shortcuts"

you need to fix the issue, cause it's not blurring anymore.
Excellent tools, A brilliant idea, to keep your privacy hide within public...
The previous version of the extension was very useful. However, after the recent update, it has become quite frustrating. It no longer hides profile names and profile pictures from the full chat list. It only hides the name and photo of the currently open chat, which is not satisfactory. Please consider restoring the earlier functionality.
The extension functions (Profile Picture, Name) are not blurring anymore. Overall extension is good, but you have to update or fix this issue of your extension.
