    It still shows content from people you don't follow so explain that. Edit: Hi people have already reported it there thanks

    That should not be the case. Please report this issue here so I can have a look at it and hopefully solve it. https://github.com/droemmelbert/unscroll-instagram/issues

    i love the idea so much, but it blocks stories as well. i have to turn the extension off to view people's stories. i currently have the "disable stories" unchecked, but i still cant see stories. just letting u know!

    I would love to solve this issue, however I cannot replicate it. Stories are working just fine for me. Could you let me know the following things so I can try to replicate the issue? - Phone Brand (e.g. Samsung) - Phone Model (e.g. Galaxy S26) - Android Version (e.g. Android 13) - Firefox Version (e.g. 156.0.1) - Extension Version (e.g. v2.2) - The exact URL that you get redirected to (should be "https://www.instagram.com/?variant=following") This would help alot!

    Effective, but lacks customisation. I want to be able to see stories -- but it keeps redirecting me away from the relevant page.
    Developer reply · 23 Sep 2026
    You should be able to continue looking at stories from the page you get redirected to. In case this is not working correctly, where are you being redirected to and what do you see there?

    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.

    I have added an option to enable/disable the addon through a popup menu. Hope this helps. Also you should be able to see stories from the "Following" section. At least this works for me. If this does not work correctly, please let me know, so I can try to fix it.

    Not working in Japanese, but perfectly working in English! great! Thank you

    This is the best way to hide the Reels, but it’s not exactly seamless either. For example, when I post messages on the home screen, the Reels icon appears and then disappears right away. As a result, the page takes a little longer to load between each page change. I don't have this issue with IGplus, but this one asks for a tip all the time, so I end up using Unscroll Instagram. In other words, it works but its "clunky"

    Doesn't remove "following" section. Only For You. So pretty much useless as it does not "unscroll" instragram, it only does it on the For You

    I was considering writing an extension that does exactly this but thanks for doing it. Small suggestion, add an option to enable/disable stories. Most people post there more than the feed so I don't think it's that much of an offensive option.

    I have added the option to hide/show stories through the popup menu. Please try it out and let me know what you think.
