What our analysis found
Privacy for WhatsApp Web (Auto Blur WA), used by 6,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in July 2026.
Analyst notes
All source code reviewed is consistent with a legitimate utility for WhatsApp Web. The content script only injects CSS stylesheet links (sourced from the extension's own web_accessible_resources) and manages CSS variables and a local idle timer — no data is read from the page, no network requests are made, and no message content is accessed or transmitted. The popup and background scripts exclusively use chrome.storage.sync for local settings persistence. There are zero outbound network calls in any file. The ML score was driven by generic HTML form tags, base64 (likely inline data-URIs in), and high exclamation-mark counts from the minified SVG path data — all false-positive signals from this extension's inline SVG icons. The permhash cluster (storage + [domain withheld]) is extremely broad (140k versions) and the 13% malware rate in that cluster is unrelated to this extension's actual behaviour.

Privacy for WhatsApp Web (Auto Blur WA) protects your screen from shoulder-surfing and prying eyes at work, cafe or coffee shops, or any public places.
