Features & Capabilities

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!

Is Ghostory Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Ghostory requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Ghostory is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
