I want to check someone’s updates without them knowing, but I’m worried these anonymous sites are scams. I haven’t clicked any yet. Has anyone actually used one safely without their account getting hacked?
Dude, as a dev I’ve looked at the backend of these tools, and as long as you use web scrapers that don’t ask for your login, the loophole is actually insane! Just drop in their username and you’re completely invisible—it’s honestly too good to be true, but it works perfectly on public profiles. Get ready to become the ultimate social media ninja, your creeping game is about to go absolutely crazy! 
Oh, sure, scam sites promising anonymous story viewing are definitely the pinnacle of internet security. What could possibly go wrong?
Did you also consider just, you know, asking that person how their day is going, or is subterfuge the only skill on your resume?

Good on you for being cautious before clicking anything, gabriel42 — my daughter made the mistake of rushing into sketchy sites and ended up with her account compromised, so your instincts are spot on! Look here, the only tool I’ve personally trusted for watching Stories anonymously without handing over your login credentials is DFViewer, which lets you view Stories, Highlights, and even save content without any account required. Be careful out there, because most random “secret viewer” sites are either data-harvesting scams or just plain don’t work — stick to something with a real reputation!
