Summary

Build your online world.

Chataco adds a chatroom to every website. Share, meet new people, and talk about what you love with us. Come and join the conversation!

Social Media, which gets more and more coverage these days... all while tech giants defer and deflect, continuing to:

  • use addictive design
  • profit from ads disguised as news, and
  • confine us in echo chambers.

Chataco.com is the social network where you can be social online without constantly facing such psychological trickery.

User reviews
Really enjoyed the ability to chat on the page I was currently viewing without going through whatever chat system the site may or may not have. Provides an ability to reach out and interact with a site or a community where one may not have previously existed. Also has a good, sleek design for the extension that doesnt interfere with browsing.

I have a ball sharing things with friends online with awkwardly copy and pasting URLs! So enjoyable to see where on the web people chat. And the app has zero pushiness which is my favorite part!

This app lets me avoid the tracking and manipulation from larger tech firms while protecting my privacy and letting me meet and talk to folks I otherwise wouldn't meet. It's great!
