Original Summary

I built a lightweight privacy extension called Stay Unseen to get real control over activity signals across Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger. Normally, the moment you open a DM, watch a story, or tap a single key in the chatbox, the web app fires background network requests notifying the other party. Stay Unseen intercepts and blocks those specific outgoing event pings client-side before they leave your browser. What it does: Instagram: Block DM "Seen" receipts, view stories/reels without logging your view, and suppress typing indicators. Facebook & Messenger: Prevent read receipts, view stories anonymously, and disable typing status. Granular control: Every toggle works independently—you can keep typing visible while blocking read receipts, or vice versa. Signal counter: The popup shows exactly how many network signals have been blocked during your session. Unread persistence: Optionally keep messages marked as unread in your inbox view. It requires minimal permissions, runs strictly locally, and doesn't collect or transmit any user data. Link: Stay Unseen Would love for you guys to test it out and share your thoughts.
