Extension summary

With Antigram, you will be able to check what your friends are up to without falling into a black hole of distractions and meaningless content.

You can choose to block or hide Instagram's functionalities instantly by using the checkboxes in the extension's settings page. Some of Antigram's capabilities are:

  • 🚫 Block Instagram Reels page
  • 🚫 Block Instagram Explore page
  • 🚫 Block 'Stories' section and page
  • 🚫 Erradicate 'Posts' feed
  • 🚫 Hide 'Suggested followers' section
  • 🔀 Redirect always to 'Following' feed, avoiding suggested posts from the 'For you' feed.

Instagram has been designed and optimized to profit from our addiction. We hope that by using the Antigram extension along with uninstalling the app from our phones and following only accounts that we care about, we can have a healthy relationship with social media.

Antigram is free and it does not track you. It only uses the storage permission to save and update your settings.

I've literally been looking around forever for an extension like this. Wish I had found it so much earlier. Super helpful for customising Instagram for your intentions.

I want to see only stories, not reels. This is a godsend! EDIT: it's fixed! But PLEASE, allow to hide also the "threads" button
