Features & Capabilities

Hide Instagram Elements lets you choose which parts of instagram.com you actually want to see. Tick a toggle in the popup and that surface disappears instantly — untick it and it's back. No reloads, no account, no configuration.

What you can hide:

• Home feed (and its infinite-scroll spinner) • Stories tray • Suggested users sidebar • "More posts from…" recommendations under a post • Comments on posts (the caption and composer stay) • The recommendations grid on the Explore page (search stays) • Reels, Explore, and Notifications entries in the navigation

How it works:

The extension injects a small CSS stylesheet into instagram.com based on your toggles — nothing else. Hiding is purely cosmetic and local to your browser.

Privacy:

• No data is collected, transmitted, or sold. Ever. • No analytics, no remote code, no accounts. • Your toggle settings are stored in your browser's extension storage (synced by your browser if you use browser sync). • The extension only runs on instagram.com.

Everything is OFF by default — install it and enable exactly what you want.

Is Hide Instagram Elements 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.

Hide Instagram Elements 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.

Hide Instagram Elements is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
