About this extension
Boringstagram is a Chrome/Firefox extension designed to make instagram - well - more boring. Its purpose is to break some of the dark patterns that Instagram employs to keep users coming back for more - but without compromising on any of functionality.

- Stories are hidden from the top of the feed by default
- Profile pictures are also hidden from stories
- Posts in the feed are collapsed by default, to make it deliberately less immersive and also quicker to browse
- The explore page is disabled by default. Never get distracted when you are trying to search for something ever again
- Lightweight and secure by default. This extension is curently css-only and does not read any specific content on the page, so you personal information is secure.
