Block Instagram from registering that you've viewed stories
Blocki is a lightweight userscript that prevents Instagram from registering that you've viewed someone’s stories. It works by intercepting and blocking network requests responsible for sending "story seen" data—both via XMLHttpRequest and fetch—without affecting your browsing experience.
Key Features:
Blocks PolarisAPIReelSeenMutation and PolarisStoriesV3SeenMutation requests
Prevents Instagram from marking stories as viewed
Silent and efficient—no UI or settings needed
Works automatically on all instagram.com pages
