- Rated 3 out of 5by Tasos, 2 months agoThe pop-up banner/ad of the extension is annoying. The disable stories option doesn't work.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18822393, 2 months agoWorked well, but the 'Major Updates' tab opening and interrupting me numerous times got annoying. Uninstalled.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Dirk, 6 months agoI don’t know how if this is the intended behavior, but when enabled all video posts are still there when scrolling the front page, the videos are just not playing anymore.
Developer response
posted 4 months agoIt's currently not possible to completely disable videos. This is why it's labeled as a beta feature.
Instagram's code uses the Observer API to fetch new posts when scrolling. If videos are entirely hidden, this functionality stops working. Additionally, Instagram relies on a secret hash for each fetch request, making it nearly impossible to modify or bypass. - Rated 3 out of 5by witchboy13, 9 months agoThe extension works well, but Instagram eventually gives a warning of automated activity and threaten to restrict or ban account.
