WhatsApp Privacy Shield adds a privacy layer to WhatsApp Web.

It helps prevent shoulder-surfing by hiding or blurring sensitive content until the user
intentionally reveals it.

### Features

• Hide or blur WhatsApp Web content by default
• Keep sidebar contact and group names visible while hiding the message preview
• Blur message text instead of replacing it with black boxes
• Blur media while preserving original colors, with a centered extension logo
• Reveal individual items temporarily
• Auto-hide revealed content after a configurable timer
• Panic button to instantly re-hide all revealed content in open WhatsApp Web tabs
• Supports WhatsApp Web’s dynamic single-page-app updates

### Privacy modes

• Hide Everything: chats, messages, media, avatars
• Hide Media Only: images, videos, grouped media, documents
• Hide Chats Only: sidebar previews and related chat-list privacy elements
• Disabled: temporarily turn privacy protection off

### Privacy

This extension runs only on https://web.whatsapp.com/*.

It does not collect personal data, does not send data to external servers, does not load remote
code, and stores only local user preferences such as privacy mode and reveal timer settings.
