From the author

Excerpt from the author's description on CurseForge

Hides Battle.net Real ID & BattleTag friends from the in-game friends list.

HideBattleNetFriends is a lightweight World of Warcraft addon that hides Battle.net (Real ID and BattleTag) friends from your in-game friends list. Only your character-specific WoW friends will be visible, just like in the classic days!

  • Privacy for streamers & creators: Prevents accidental display of BattleTag/Real ID info on stream or screenshots.
  • Decluttered friends list: See only your WoW friends from the same server and faction.
