Features & Capabilities

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.

Great addon, but it isn't working well with the new IG layout.

Is Boringstagram Safe?

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.

Boringstagram requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

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 Add-ons Store, 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.

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