Top 10 Best Sidebar Extensions for Chrome in 2025

Does exactly what it should. Directly opens the instagram chat. You can even browse insgragram from it. One issue i've noticed (although I believe it's how firefox handles the sidebar extensions) is that it doesn't remember the last state. For example you open chat with some person, then close the sidebar. Once you re-open it, you are in the main chat menu, not inside the last chat. Essentially it reloads every time you re-open the sidebar.

Chats don’t open in Nightly on Mac and Windows (imgur /a/s6b0Utg). I have access to the full page with chats. Your addon barely works with general chats (I can’t switch to only the chat window) and doesn’t work with primary chats (every chat is unclickable).

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.

InstaChat in Sidebar does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low This permission has no access or impact on the user's system or data, thus carrying no risk.

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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

InstaChat in Sidebar has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
