Using WhatsApp Web in an office, cafe or shared space means constantly worrying about wandering eyes reading your private chats. I built this completely free, ad-free extension to give you back your peace of mind so you can text securely without minimizing tabs every time someone walks by.
WA Web Privacy is a premium grade privacy tool with a clean, modern UI that seamlessly integrates right into your browser. No paywalls, no subscriptions just total control over your screen.
Core Features in Detail:
Password Screen Lock: Need to step away from your laptop? Secure your entire WhatsApp session with a custom password. You can lock it manually with one click, or set a custom inactivity timer (e.g., 1 minute) so it automatically locks itself if you forget.
Smart Hover to Unblur: Protect your screen from shoulder-surfers. This feature automatically blurs your chat list, contact names, profile pictures, recent messages, and media previews. To read something, simply hover your mouse over it. Move your mouse away, and it instantly blurs again. You can even customize the exact blur intensity!
Text Input Blur: Keep the message you are currently drafting safe. Your text input box remains completely blurred out to anyone looking at your screen until you actually click inside it to type.
Whole Screen Idle Protection: Set a custom idle timer (e.g., 5 seconds). If you haven't moved your mouse or typed anything, the extension will automatically blur the entire WhatsApp Web interface until you return.
Why use this extension?
100% Free Forever: Every single feature is unlocked.
Zero Ads: No annoying pop ups or tracking.
Modern UI: A beautiful, easy to use control panel that looks native to your browser.
Fast & Lightweight: Optimized so it won't slow down your browser.

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).
