Invisible Story Viewer for IG

Take control of your privacy on Instagram. This script allows you to watch Stories without leaving a trace ("Seen" status). Unlike other scripts, this version is designed to be lightweight, silent, and efficient.

🚀 Key Features

• True Stealth Mode: Automatically intercepts and blocks all "seen" and "viewed" signals sent by Instagram's API.
• Zero UI / Silent Operation: No annoying banners, badges, or buttons. The script works quietly in the background.
• Performance Optimized: Only activates when you are actually on the /stories/ page to save browser resources.
• Privacy First: No data collection, no external server calls. Everything happens locally in your browser.

🛠 How it Works

The script monitors and blocks specific network requests (XHR, Fetch, and Beacon) that contain "viewed" metadata. It uses precise Regex patterns to ensure that while your "seen" status is blocked, the Story content itself loads perfectly.

📖 How to Use

1. Install a userscript manager (like Violentmonkey, Tampermonkey, or Greasemonkey).
2. Install this script.
3. Open Instagram and navigate to any Story.
4. That’s it! You are now invisible.

⚠️ Note on Reliability

Instagram is a Single Page Application (SPA). This script is optimized for this architecture, meaning it correctly detects when you move from the Home feed to the Stories section without needing a page refresh.
