Blur your WhatsApp Web chats and keep messages, photos, names and previews safe from prying eyes.
Built to protect WhatsApp Web on any shared screen: your chats stay hidden and blurred until you want them back.

Data source
Covers every Chrome Web Store extension with at least 100 users, found through the store's public sitemap. User counts are read from public listing pages. The 10% most-used extensions are refreshed daily, the next 40% weekly and the next 40% monthly; the least-used 10% are not refreshed. Google displays rounded user counts (and caps the display at 10,000,000+), so small changes may not be visible. Rating counts above 1,000 are rounded (e.g. 1.6K).
