A: No. All blurring is done locally with CSS inside your browser. The extension only stores your own settings โ€” no messages, contacts, or media ever leave your device. Q: Can I choose exactly what gets blurred? A: Yes. Open the popup and toggle each target individually โ€” chat list names, previews, avatars, open-chat messages, media previews, media gallery, and the text input. Q: How do I read a blurred message? A: Hover your cursor over it. The blur fades out while you hover and returns when you move away. You can also enable "Unblur while cursor is over WhatsApp" to clear everything at once. Q: Can I turn blurring off quickly? A: Yes. Press Alt+Shift+P or click the toolbar icon to toggle the master switch instantly. Q: Will it slow down WhatsApp Web? A: No. The extension uses lightweight CSS class toggles, not message interception, so performance is unaffected. Q: What permissions does it need? A: Only "storage", used to save your preferences locally. It does not read messages or access any other site. Whether you're working in a shared office, presenting on a call, studying in public, or just browsing at home, WhatsApp Blur Pro is your privacy companion for WhatsApp Web.
