An important step has been taken for WhatsApp, one of the most used messaging applications in the world. This time, the step taken is specific to the web version of WhatsApp.
THE “CODE VIRIFY” PERIOD IS COMING FOR WHATSAPP WEB
Code Verify has been announced as a new browser extension aimed at improving the security of the web version of WhatsApp. This browser extension, offered in partnership with Cloudflare, aims to make it much more difficult for a potential attacker to access data or compromise the privacy of WhatsApp’s end-to-end encrypted messages when using the browser-based version of the service.
Meta has posted the source code of Code Verify on GitHub, while saying that the extension can’t read or access your messages and none of that data is sent to Cloudflare.
The extension is currently available for Chrome and Edge browsers, but a Firefox version is also on the way.
