User Reviews

Was good for a few months but now (as of 1-2 months ago) very frequently maxes out the audio of reels as I scroll. I change it back to the ~10% I usually have it at and 1-2 reels later I get blasted by 100% volume, often when scrolling up mid reel when I scrolled past it slightly. The volume slider does not show that the volume is at 100%. Changing extension settings does not fix the issue. Issue goes away when I disable the extension. Native volume bars. The issue was present prior to 1.2.8 and it persists.

Doesn't work. I installed it, reloaded Instagram, pulled up a Reel from my messages, did not see any difference in the video player. (No ability to scrub/move, no indication of how long the video was, etc.)

Is Progress Bar for Instagram Safe?

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.

Progress Bar for Instagram requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
