2024-06-08 | en | Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn | ||

2024-04-04 | en | I just tried and it worked for me for about 20 sec before no matter what I did kept saying INSTAGRAM REFUSES TO CONNECT, kinda scary to leave your account open in a site you can't access to. 2/5 I don't recommend using this, the idea is great and very useful, but the page itself isn't done as it should be. | ||

2023-03-11 | Download a "User Agent" switching extension instead that works for every website that you want to load in a Mobile View. What is a user agent? Basically info sent to a website so it will display the website properly to you. More specifically: I got this from wikipedia and translated it so the everyday person can understand it a little better: "When a your web browser sends it's request for a webpage it supplies info to the web server of that website so that it knows which version of the website to send back to you. The information sent to instagram.com (and every website) when you visit is: the specific web browser you are using (Chrome, Firefox, Safari), the operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, etc), the device model (iPhone __, Pixel __, Galaxy __) and the software vendor (Apple, Microsoft, Google, Samsung) and the software revision (how up to date your software is)..." it's standard and has been done forever, it lets the web server know what content your device is capable of displaying properly, and how large the screen is on that device so that it is laid out in a functional way for you. I tried this extension trying to be lazy, lol, thinking it'd be a quick fix since DMs don't seem to auto-refresh on the desktop website for instagram (as of March 2023), and the F12 method (a debugging/coding console for web developers) reverts to desktop view when closing the code window. Its shady that this developer didn't simply provide an extension that delivers a different user-agent message to the instagram website for an untampered experience. Instead they are trying to monetize using something that is available for free to everyone already. I don't appreciate developers that try to take advantage of the normal everyday user who doesn't know any better. My suggestion to developers is to charge $3 for their extension or ask for a cup-of-coffee donation instead like the more forthcoming developers do. |
