About the Project

WA Web Pro is a Chrome extension that adds privacy protection and customization to WhatsApp Web. It runs only on https://web.whatsapp.com and does not change how WhatsApp works—it only adds optional locks, blur effects, themes, and productivity tools.

Designed for users who use WhatsApp Web at work, school, or in public spaces. No account required, works instantly after installation.

How It Works

  • The extension injects a small menu (e.g. in the sidebar) on WhatsApp Web. From there you open Settings to configure lock, blur, theme, and other options.
  • All privacy and customization settings are stored in Chrome's local storage on your device. No account data, messages, or contacts are collected or sent to the developer.
  • Optional analytics (e.g. "extension installed", "feature used") can be sent to Google Analytics if enabled in settings. You can disable analytics at any time. Analytics do not include message content or personal data.
  • Translation uses Google Translate; only the text you choose to translate is sent to Google, according to Google's privacy policy.

Permissions in Plain Language

  • Storage — Saves your settings (lock password hash, blur toggles, theme, language) only on your computer. Used for no other purpose.
  • Tabs — After you install the extension, any already-open WhatsApp Web tab can be refreshed once so the extension loads. We do not read or collect your tab history.
  • Scripting — Used to run the extension's code only on https://web.whatsapp.com so we can add the lock, blur, theme, and menu. We do not run scripts on other sites.
  • Host access: web.whatsapp.com — Required because the extension only works on WhatsApp Web. We do not access other websites.
  • Host access: Google Analytics / Tag Manager / Translate — Used only if you enable analytics (for anonymous usage stats) or use the translation feature (to send selected text to Google Translate). You can disable analytics in settings.

What We Don't Do

  • We do not read, store, or upload your WhatsApp messages.
  • We do not collect your contact list or personal data for advertising.
  • We do not sell or share your data with third parties for marketing.
  • We do not run on sites other than WhatsApp Web (and, when you use them, Google's analytics/translate endpoints).

Requirements

  • Chrome (or a Chromium-based browser that supports Chrome extensions).
  • You must use WhatsApp Web (https://web.whatsapp.com). The extension does not work with the WhatsApp desktop app or mobile app.
