User reviews
reels are still mixed in when viewing a profile, all the extension does is remove the tab. also, now everytime I open instagram I get a popup in the corner asking for donations, with the only option being "remind me later". I get that everyones gotta make money, but I despise these types of popups that you can't permanently close.

Hate falling into the shortform content trap. Love the apps that allow me to forget it exists.
