How to see who viewed your Facebook story that isn't your friend?

You can view public Facebook profiles and posts anonymously, but for private profiles, you generally need to be friends or send a request; however, you can find limited public info via Google search (e.g., name site:facebook.com), use an anonymous Facebook account for browsing, or try tricks like Airplane Mode for stories (then block to hide view), but Facebook itself doesn't track profile views, so they won't know you looked unless you interact or your profile is public.
