work on Microsoft Edge.. thank you

Seriously, if you use WhatsApp Web in public at all, you need this. It's so simple, but it makes a huge difference. No more worrying about people peeking at your messages. The blur is strong enough that you can't make anything out, but it's easy to see your messages when you need to. I also love that you can customize which parts of the app get blurred. Highly recommend!
