WhatsApp Privacy Blur — Hide Messages, Media & Screen Share Protection

🔒 The ultimate privacy extension for WhatsApp Web Tired of people glancing at your screen and reading your WhatsApp messages? WhatsApp Privacy Blur instantly hides sensitive content behind a smooth blur effect — hover to reveal, or lock everything down for screen sharing. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ KEY FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎛️ GRANULAR BLUR CONTROLS Choose exactly what to blur: • Sidebar profile pictures • Contact & group names • Last message previews • Chat header photo & title • Chat message text • Media files (images, videos, stickers) 👆 HOVER TO REVEAL Simply hover over any blurred element to temporarily reveal it. Move away and it blurs again instantly. 🎚️ ADJUSTABLE INTENSITY Slide the blur intensity from subtle (2px) to heavy (20px) — find the perfect balance for your environment. 🔒 PRESENTATION MODE One-click lockdown — disables ALL hover reveals. Nothing can be accidentally uncovered during screen sharing, video calls, or presentations. 👁️ PEEKABOO MODE Click and hold to reveal, release to re-blur. More secure than hover — prevents accidental reveals when moving your mouse. ⏱️ AUTO-BLUR TIMER Forgot to re-enable blur before walking away? Auto-blur detects inactivity and re-enables protection automatically (5–300 second timeout). 📌 PINNED CONTACTS Double-click any chat in the sidebar to "pin" it — pinned contacts are never blurred. Perfect for keeping important conversations always visible. ⌨️ KEYBOARD SHORTCUT Toggle blur instantly: • Windows/Linux: Alt + B • macOS: Control + B ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💎 PRO FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Unlock the full privacy toolkit with a one-time Pro upgrade — no subscription and no account needed. 🚨 PANIC LOCK Someone walking up behind you? One keystroke instantly applies maximum blur, activates stealth mode and disguises your tab. • Windows/Linux: Alt + P • macOS: Control + Shift + P Press again to restore your previous settings. 📹 MEETING AUTO MODE Detects when you join Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Whereby or Webex and automatically turns on screen share protection. When you leave the call, your previous settings are restored. Zero effort — it just works. 🖥️ SCREEN SHARE MODE Maximum protection while sharing your screen, with its own shortcut (Ctrl + Shift + S). Heavy blur on everything and all hover reveals disabled, so nothing slips out on a shared screen. 🕵️ STEALTH MODE + TAB MASKING Disguises your WhatsApp tab with a title you choose (like "Google Docs"), swaps the favicon and hides the unread badge — even when WhatsApp tries to change the title back. No one can tell WhatsApp is open. ⏰ SMART SCHEDULING • Profile Schedule — automatically switch to your Work, Public or Home profile on the days and times you set • Stealth Hours — automatically enable stealth mode during working hours and turn it off afterwards 💼 SMART PROFILES One-click switching between Work, Public and Home profiles. Each profile saves its own blur intensity, modes and preferences — and you can fully customize them. 📌 WHITELIST MODE Take pinned contacts further: blur every chat EXCEPT the ones you pin. Perfect for keeping a few important conversations visible while everyone else stays hidden (up to 50 pinned contacts). 🎯 FOCUS MODE Obscures your whole chat list while keeping the chat you're in perfectly clear. Ideal when you only need to read one conversation. 🔍 SEARCH RESULTS BLUR Blurs contact names and message snippets in WhatsApp's search results, so searching for a chat doesn't expose your conversations. 🔐 PIN LOCK Protect the extension's settings behind a 4-digit PIN (stored securely as a SHA-256 hash). Nobody can switch your blur off without it. 🎚️ MORE PRO BLUR CONTROLS • Blur contact & group names in the sidebar • Blur the active chat title • Advanced Auto-Blur Timer for automatic re-protection after inactivity ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛡️ PRIVACY & SECURITY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Your WhatsApp messages, contacts and media never leave your browser • All blurring happens 100% locally • No analytics, no tracking, no ads • Pro license check: only a random license ID is sent to verify your purchase — never any WhatsApp data • Payments handled securely by Paddle — we never see your card details • Open source — inspect the code yourself • Minimal permissions: storage (saving your preferences), alarms (scheduling) and tabs (meeting detection & tab masking) — only used on WhatsApp Web and your own meeting tabs ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💼 PERFECT FOR ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Screen sharing during meetings & presentations • Working in open offices or co-working spaces • Using WhatsApp on public computers • Protecting privacy from shoulder surfers • Anyone who values their digital privacy ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ QUICK START ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1.
