🛡️ Ghost Mode for Google Chat: Your Ultimate Privacy Shield
👀 Read in Peace. ⌨️ Type in Silence. Stay Invisible.
Have you ever wanted to read a message on Google Chat without letting the sender know? Or wished you could write a thoughtful reply without the pressure of the "…is typing" notification?
Ghost Mode for Google Chat is the privacy-first extension designed to let you take back control of your conversations — on your own terms.

✨ Key Features
👻 True Unseen Mode
Open and read any message — in private. Whether it’s a direct message or a group chat, your “seen” receipt stays hidden. To others, messages always show as sent, never read.
Take your time to think, reflect, and respond only when you're ready.

⌨️ Hide Typing Status
Say goodbye to performance anxiety.
With this feature, your typing activity is completely hidden. You can write, delete, edit, and rewrite — all without the other person seeing the “is typing” indicator.

✅ Why Choose Ghost Mode?
🔧 Simple & Effective
Easy toggle switch UI. One click to enable or disable any feature.
No configuration, no hassle.

⚡ Lightweight & Fast
Built with Chrome’s modern declarativeNetRequest API — blocking tracking requests instantly, without slowing anything down.

🔒 Secure & Private
We never access, read, or send your messages.
This extension only blocks the specific Google Chat network signals that update your typing and seen status.
Everything stays on your device.

🚀 How to Use
Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store.

Click the Ghost Mode icon in your browser toolbar.

Toggle the switches for Unseen Messages and Hide Typing Status.

That’s it — changes apply instantly to Google Chat (no refresh needed).

🎉 Experience Stress-Free Messaging
Take back control of your conversations.
No pressure. No surveillance. Just you and your words — delivered on your terms.
