## Description

**Social Switch: Anonymous Instagram and TikTok** is a Chrome extension that automatically redirects Instagram and TikTok URLs to anonymous web viewers. It supports profiles, posts, tagged posts, stories, reels, and hashtags on Instagram and profiles on TikTok. Users can select their preferred viewer from Picuki, Imginn, UrleBird, or Xaller directly through a convenient popup interface to enable or disable redirection.

The extension intelligently handles various Instagram URLs by redirecting stories and posts to Imginn, tags to Picuki, and TikTok profiles to either UrleBird or Xaller, ensuring seamless access without logging in or revealing your identity. Social Switch is a privacy-conscious tool designed to provide easy, anonymous access to social media content without affiliation to the supported third-party viewers.
