Extension summary

The web version of instagram does not let you copy an image to clipboard or open it in a new tab in any practical way. That's why I created this simple extension - to make it more convenient to share an instagram image across the web.

This extension works especially well with Discord and slack, where you can copy the image link and paste it into the chat, and it will automatically convert the link to an image. Instagram's default share option is very unreliable. Sometimes it shows a preview, and sometimes it doesn't - making you have to click the link and go to instagram to view it.

Currently the functionality is only applied when viewing in feed mode or a single image. Does not support grid view as of yet.

Commands: Ctrl / CMD + left click = copy link to image Shift + left click = open image in new tab

How to use it ?

Nice work. But the new tab is in a new separate window, not just a new tab in the original window. (Shift + left click)
