User reviews
This extension likes instagram posts in the background from your account. Don't believe me, use a HTTPS sniffer and see for yourself. You will get instagram warnings when logging into the app, sometimes even softbanned from liking. This is awful, I dont believe how this even made it to the chrome store.

Sethu Senthil, 2020-10-14Malware extension! Do not install because it generates likes for Facebook and Instagram posts. Who knows what else it could start doing at any moment. Google should remove immediately!
