About PeekShield: Blur Chats Across Your Messaging Apps

PeekShield keeps your chats blurred until you look, so the people around you can't read them. On the train, in the office, at a café or while you share your screen, anyone glancing at your laptop sees only blur. Hover over a message to read it. Move away and it blurs again. WHAT IT BLURS • Messages and message previews • Photos, videos, stickers and files • Contact and group names • Profile pictures • What you type (optional) ONE EXTENSION FOR YOUR CHAT APPS PeekShield works on the web versions of popular messaging apps, including WhatsApp Web, with the same switches and the same shortcut everywhere. The full list of supported apps is at https://peekshield.click CONTROLS • Choose exactly what gets blurred • Blur strength: low, medium or high • Blur the whole page when you switch tabs • Press Alt+X to turn protection off and on, or Option+X on a Mac. A small OFF badge reminds you when it's off. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR DEVICE PeekShield only changes how the page looks. It never reads, stores or sends your messages. There are no servers, no analytics, no ads and no account. The only thing it saves is your own settings, in Chrome. GOOD TO KNOW • Works in the browser, not in desktop apps. • Messaging sites update their pages often. If something isn't blurred, click the PeekShield icon and use "Report a problem". PeekShield is an independent extension. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the messaging services it works with.
