Really handy and easy-to-use extension for WhatsApp Web. The blur feature works really well, especially when using WhatsApp in the office or in public places. It’s nice to have the option to control what gets blurred and adjust the blur level. Setup was quick, and everything feels simple and smooth. Definitely worth trying if you want a little more privacy while using WhatsApp Web.

Shivam kumar·5 Sept 2026

The Extension is very useful, the difference from other extensions are that "Blur strength adjustment" this is very useful to adjust the blurness accordingly.

Radhika Agrawal·5 Sept 2026

The extension is very useful for office usage. It protects privacy. It provides lots of customizations that make it more useful depending on the kind of use case. Some improvements could be done on it, e.g. it does not blur the profiles and chat when scrolled on the chat list.
