About
Install this extension if the Explore and/or Reels pages are wasting your time. Changelog: v0.2.0 - Rename the extension due to intellectual property issues. v0.1.2 - Extension was no longer hiding the 'Explore' page, changed the regex so that all <a> tags with an 'href' that contains '/explore/' are hidden. v0.1.1 - Fixed a bug where pages were not hidden on non-English versions of instagram.com. v0.1.0 - Initial release.
