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.

Everything works great! Absolutely perfect!
by Ian Adams Ian Adams, 2024-04-20

This is absolutely perfect. Simply blocking Instagram wasn't working for me, but with this app now at least I can see things that I actually want to see and not content that stresses me out, that used to appear on my feed all the time from accounts that I never followed.

This would be 10/10 if it had the option to enable stories. I've unticked everything and still the stories section at the top is not visible. Other than that it's perfect, please consider updating! <3 EDIT I realised that the plugin redirects the homepage to the following feed, so I'm not sure if it's actually possible to add the stories to this page.
