Opera can show WhatsApp in its sidebar, which keeps your chats on screen all the time. WBlur blurs WhatsApp Web so they stay private until you hover over them.
Opera supports Chrome Web Store extensions through its “Install Chrome Extensions” add-on.

Does WBlur blur WhatsApp in Opera's sidebar?
WBlur runs on web.whatsapp.com. Open WhatsApp Web in a regular Opera tab to get the blur.

Does WBlur read or collect my messages?
No. WBlur only changes how WhatsApp looks on your screen. It does not read, store or send your messages, contacts or any information about you.
Can the other person tell that I use WBlur?
No. WBlur only blurs what is shown on your own screen. Nothing changes in WhatsApp itself, and read receipts work exactly as before.
