Extension summary

Turns out, Instagram stores hi res versions of all the images! For some reason, it still only lets us see 614px wide thumbnails of them. Crops them, too! Isn't that a bit weird for a social network that's ostensibly all about pictures and original content? Oh well...

Normally, you would be able to do that from the context menu by right clicking the image, but no, Instagram doesn't allow that.
