It works fine for me! I had to enable the the "Optional permission for added functionality": Add-ons > Extensions > Instab > Permissions tab > Toggle on "Access your data for sites in the *://instagram.com domain" • Downloads 1 image at a time out of gallery posts, non-configurable • No config or advanced features to make it stand out much from other extensions; but sometimes simplicity is a benefit • Pop-up buttons stick out against dark mode theming, I find this mildly annoying • Open source viewable on GitHub; theoretically less likely to be mining bitcoin on my PC or selling my passwords than some alternatives :)
