Founder Leif K-brooks

Omegle, a free online chat website that allowed users to socialise with others without any need to register, has shut down. Its founder Leif K-Brooks said operating Omegle "is no longer sustainable, financially nor psychologically".

The online chat platform Omegle has officially shut down after a 14-year run. Introduced in 2009, this free service was known for randomly matching users for anonymous one-on-one conversations.
