Features & Capabilities

Unscroll Instagram removes the distraction of Reels, Explore, and recommended posts so you only see posts and stories from people you follow. It prevents infinite scrolling, hides or removes the Reels and Explore tabs, and can optionally disable the home feed so only your inbox remains accessible.

Privacy-focused and open-source: the extension collects no data, is free to use, and is provided as-is under the GNU GPL v2. View the source code on GitHub: https://github.com/droemmelbert/unscroll-instagram

User Reviews

Users broadly praise Unscroll Instagram for a cleaner feed, time saved, and reduced doomscroll. They say it effectively hides or disables most suggested posts and reels, with several calling it life-changing. Yet multiple reviews report partial effectiveness or instability: some content remains visible or blurred, the Reels tab or Explore page can persist, and reliability varies. Notable drawbacks include the absence of an on/off switch and occasionally removing the Story tab or overreaching beyond the intended scope.

Pros

Works as expected and provides a clean feed
Reduces procrastination and time-wasting by avoiding suggested posts and reels
Life-changing, helping to curb doomscroll and addiction
Effectively hides/disables most suggested posts and reels

Cons

Partial effectiveness: some content remains visible or blurred
Not consistently effective: Reels tab or Explore page can persist
Lacks an on/off switch to easily enable/disable the extension
Removes more than intended (e.g., Story tab)

Recent reviews

It's good, the only extension I've seen that can block explore feed posts. But I really wish it had more options - I've set up my Home feed to block suggested posts, so I'd like to be able to disable the redirect for it since I want to view stories! Instead, this extension forces me into the following version of the feed, which is extremely annoying. In order to view my stories, I have to turn off the extension (through Firefox, since there's no option to toggle the extension itself!) every time.

Is Unscroll 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.

Unscroll Instagram requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Unscroll Instagram is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
