About this extension
Ghostory: The Ultimate Stealth Instagram Story Viewer 👻

Tired of accidental views or wanting to browse Instagram stories completely anonymously? Ghostory is a modern, lightweight, and privacy-focused extension that lets you watch any Instagram story without ever appearing on the viewer list.

Why Ghostory? Unlike older extensions that break the Instagram website or fail under new browser updates, Ghostory uses an advanced Manifest V3 architecture. It intercepts the exact PolarisStoriesV3SeenMutation telemetry request and drops it quietly, while tricking Instagram into thinking the request succeeded.

Key Features: 👁️ True Stealth: Watch stories, reels, and highlights without triggering read receipts. ⚡ Zero Breakage: Media loads instantly. No infinite loading screens or app crashes. 🛡️ Privacy First: 100% local processing. No user data is collected, stored, or transmitted. ⚙️ Open Source: Transparent code, verifiable by anyone.

Take back your viewing privacy today. Ghostory is disabled by default for your safety — just click the icon to toggle Stealth Mode ON when you need it!
