Review VirusTotal report ↗VirusTotal Code Insights reports that the extension provides an Instagram UI for finding and unfollowing non-mutual accounts using Instagram's native endpoints, with no data exfiltration, remote code execution, or malicious behavior found.
No credential collection
Install the extension, then log in to instagram.com. It works only while an Instagram session is active in your browser.
The extension does not ask you to enter or send your Instagram password to the developer, and it does not store your login credentials. It uses the Instagram session already open in your browser.
The developer does not maintain a separate developer-controlled database of the Instagram account information processed by the extension. Processing is performed for the tool's functionality in your browser.
What the code does
- Only runs when the page is
www.instagram.com— it refuses to run anywhere else. - Uses your existing Instagram session to make the requests needed for the tool; it never asks for or stores your password.
- Instagram requests are made directly from your browser to
www.instagram.com; the extension is not designed to send your Instagram data to a developer-controlled server. - Unfollowing only happens after you select accounts and confirm — nothing is unfollowed automatically.
