I Created a Microsoft Edge Extension to Hide Chat on Whatsapp

I recently created a Microsoft Edge extension called Hide Chat. This is a privacy-enhancing extension for Web Whatsapp that hides the recent chat section on web.whatsapp.com and shows it on hover. Please note that this extension is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with Whatsapp in any way.

I was using a similar extension to Hide Chat for Whatsapp, but I later learned that it was tracking my data. I was concerned about my privacy, so I decided to create my own extension that would not track my data.

The Hide Chat extension is available for free on the Microsoft Edge Add-ons store. To install the extension, users can simply search for "Hide Chat" in the store and click on the "Add to Edge" button.

Hide Chat has been downloaded by users in many countries. The extension is most popular in Ireland, Korea, and the United States.

I am grateful for the support of all of my users. I am excited to continue to develop Hide Chat and make it even more useful.
