Don't know why people are saying this doesn't work anymore; I just set it up and it works right away (no need for any tinkering like other extensions). Absolutly wonderful!

Works well for me! Was doubtful when I saw older reviews saying that it's not working anymore. I still tried it and luckily, I was able to download a bunch of Instagram photos (May 20, 2025)

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.

Instant Save for Instagram and Flickr requires very minimum permissions.
