After 14 years of operation, Omegle has officially closed its doors. The well-known free online service connected strangers for video and text chats, without requiring registration. The platform, which boasted over three million daily active users, was the brainchild of Leif-K Brooks in 2009. Brooks attributed the closure to the stress and financial burden of combating misuse and attacks on the platform's communication services.
