In code review (v0.3.1)

Our reviewer read version 0.3.1 — the most recent version we have reviewed — and found no malicious behaviour. The version shown here has not been individually reviewed yet.

What our analysis found

Enhancer for WhatsApp™, used by 70,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in May 2025.

The extension acts as a wrapper for WhatsApp Web, providing a custom popup and notification badge. It does not collect or transmit any user data externally, uses permissions solely for its intended functionality, and contains no obfuscated or malicious code. The only discrepancy is the omission of 'declarativeNetRequest' from the published manifest summary, which is a documentation issue, not a security threat. All behavior aligns with the extension's stated purpose and the publisher's privacy policy.

About this extension

Easy access to WhatsApp web with enhancing and privacy features.

Read the publisher’s full description

Enhancer for WhatsApp™ is an extension that enables you to get more from the WhatsApp web interface. Important note: Enhancer for WhatsApp™ does NOT belong or relate to the official WhatsApp application or website. It is an unofficial extension that is developed and maintained independently. This unofficial extension is a wrapper to the original WhatsApp and tries to enhance its usage. With this addon, you get several privacy enhancements and badge-text notifications (when the interface is open). Please visit the options page to adjust the privacy and enhancement features. In privacy features, this addon can blur different segments within the WhatsApp web interface. By default, only the main body message section is active. Please mark desired items and see which one is best for you. To report bugs, please use the addon's homepage and fill out the bug report form (https://mybrowseraddon.com/whatsapp-desktop.html).
