Review Summary
The Privacy Extension for WhatsApp Web is praised for effectively blurring sensitive elements like profile pictures and messages across multiple platforms. Users appreciate its customization options and practical privacy benefits, especially in work settings. However, several reviews note inconsistent blurring behavior, where blur may fail or stop unexpectedly. Users reported that blurred contact info sometimes reappears when opening chats, and recent bugs impact text input greying. Additionally, subscription management features seem problematic for some. Overall, while generally effective and well-regarded, the extension experiences occasional stability and functionality issues.
