User reviews

IGPlus is praised for helping users reduce distractions by hiding Instagram Reels, Explore page, and recommendations, thus enabling better productivity and a more focused Instagram experience. It works well on multiple browsers but has some issues, such as not fully removing Reels in profile views and removing story circles along with recommendations. Some users dislike recurring donation popups without a dismiss option. While effective for most, the extension has inconsistent performance on certain browsers and occasional glitches reported by users.

Pros

Effectively hides Instagram Reels, Explore page, and recommendations to reduce distractions.
Helps users save time and feel more productive by avoiding addictive content.
Provides a calmer, cleaner Instagram experience by removing shortform content.
Works smoothly on multiple browsers like Chrome and Edge.
Highly appreciated by users who want to control their Instagram usage and avoid falling into content traps.

Cons

Does not always remove Reels from profile views; only removes the Reels tab.
Disabling recommendations also removes story circles, which some users want to keep separately.
Popup donation requests that only have "remind me later" option annoy some users.
Inconsistent functionality on some browsers like Brave and does not support Vivaldi yet.
Occasional reports of the extension sometimes not working as intended.

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.

IGPlus - Hide Instagram Reels, Explore Page requires very minimum permissions.
