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
