Instagram Seen Blocker Chrome extension security report

Take control of your privacy on Instagram with "Instagram Seen Blocker." This lightweight extension is designed to provide a more discreet browsing experience by modifying how your browser interacts with Instagram’s visibility and focus scripts. How it works: Unlike traditional blockers that interfere with network requests, this extension focuses on browser-side event management. It intelligently prevents Instagram from detecting when the page is focused or visible to the user. By simulating a "hidden" state for the browser tab, it aims to prevent the automatic "seen" or "read" triggers that occur when you open a direct message. Key Features: Privacy-First: Does not monitor or block your network traffic. Lightweight: Minimal impact on browser performance. Automated Activation: Works instantly on all open Instagram tabs upon installation. Simple Interface: A clean, non-intrusive indicator shows you when the privacy mode is active. Legal Disclaimer Disclaimer: This extension is provided "as is" and "as available" without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. Not Affiliated with Instagram: This extension is an independent project and is not affiliated with, authorized, maintained, sponsored, or endorsed by Instagram, Meta Platforms, Inc., or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries. No Guarantee of Functionality: Due to frequent updates in Instagram’s scripts, the developer does not guarantee that the extension will successfully block "seen" receipts at all times. User Responsibility: You are solely responsible for complying with Instagram's Terms of Service. Use of this tool is entirely at your own risk. Data Privacy: As it works locally, your credentials and private data remain secure and are never accessed by the extension.
