## Description

Message Poller for Instagram gives you a sleek, dedicated inbox right in your browser to check your Instagram DMs—without ever alerting the sender that you've read them!

Features: 🕵️‍♂️ True Stealth Mode: Read incoming messages instantly without triggering "Seen" read receipts. ✨ Gorgeous Interface: A modern, dark-glass dashboard to view your chats without opening the bulky Instagram website. ⚡ Lightning Fast: Check your unread messages with a single click from your browser toolbar. 🔒 100% Privacy Focused: Your data never leaves your computer. The extension communicates directly with Instagram. No telemetry, no external servers, no tracking.

🔥 Pro Mode (Background Polling) For advanced users, this extension pairs perfectly with our open-source Python backend! When installed together, you can poll for messages 24/7 in the background—even when your browser is completely closed! You can download the free Pro Mode backend for Windows, Mac, and Linux from our GitHub repository (linked in the extension settings).
