Story Shield — Hide Seen on Stories

View stories anonymously on Instagram: hide your seen status and stay out of the viewer list. Open saved profiles in one click.

Story Shield lets you view stories anonymously on instagram.com — a simple ghost mode that hides your seen status, so you don't appear in the viewer list. Features • Anonymous story viewer: watch stories without being marked as "seen" • Favorite profiles: type a username, @username or paste a link — and open their stories in one click • On/off switch and an ON/OFF badge on the icon • Interface in English and Russian How it works When you watch a story, Instagram sends a separate request telling the author that you've seen it. Story Shield stops that request from going out — everything else works as usual. A view will still count if you open the story in the mobile app or while the extension is turned off. If Instagram changes how its website works, protection may temporarily stop working — in that case we'll release an update. Privacy • The extension needs only one permission — storing its settings • It doesn't read cookies and has no access to your account • It doesn't collect any data or send anything to third-party servers • Your profile list stays in your browser (and syncs through your Chrome account) Story Shield is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta Platforms.
