App for IW

An easy-to-use and lite App for Instagram

App for IW is a lightweight and easy-to-use Chrome extension designed to provide quick access to the Instagram web interface right from your desktop (PC, Mac, or Linux). By clicking the toolbar button, Instagram opens in a standalone popup window, replicating a dedicated application experience without the burden of background processes. This add-on operates similarly to traditional Chrome Apps, clearing its activity completely when closed.

Please note that App for IW is an unofficial tool and is independently developed; it is not affiliated with Instagram or Facebook. It acts as a wrapper around the Instagram web application to enhance desktop usability. For official Instagram support, users can visit Instagram Help. Bug reports and issues can be submitted via the add-on's homepage.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

App for IW does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
    Risk likelihood
    Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

    App for IW is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
