WhatsApp Web Trick to Stop Appearing Online'L

Google Chrome has an extension to be 'in incognito mode', and thus go unnoticed in WhatsApp conversations

Sometimes, many users get tired of social networks sharing information about all the activity you do; and in the case of WhatsApp, some functions such as double checking or Updates to 'Last Connected' or the controversial 'Online' can be tedious, as they make users feel compelled to respond immediately to a conversation they don't want to participate in or simply doesn't generate interest in them.

For this, in the mobile version there is an option that allows you to remove the blue check, which represents the read confirmation, as well as an option that suspends the presentation of the 'last time' at the top of the chat. This does not mean that when a person enters the app they will go unnoticed, they will simply appear online and when they close WhatsApp, they will only appear their name.

However, what about the web version? Is there a way to prevent contacts from knowing when a person is online when they log in from a computer or laptop? Yes, there is, or at least when using Google Chrome as the default a href="https://www.infobae.com/tag/navegador/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"bbrowser.
