InstaClick - Clickable Links for Instagram

About

Instagram doesn't make URLs clickable — InstaClick fixes that.
InstaClick automatically detects plain-text URLs across Instagram (posts, comments, bios, stories, and reels) and turns them into real, clickable links. No copying and pasting into a new tab. Just click and go. Converts plain-text URLs in Instagram posts, comments, bios, and reels into clickable links with rich previews and QR codes.

HOW IT WORKS:
Once installed, InstaClick runs quietly in the background on instagram.com. It scans text for URLs and converts them into styled, clickable links — instantly, as content loads. It works seamlessly with Instagram's single-page app navigation, so links are detected as you scroll, open posts, or browse profiles.

FEATURES:
— Smart URL Detection — Accurately finds URLs without false positives, with TLD validation and short URL recognition.
— Rich Link Previews — Hover over any link to see a preview card with the page title, favicon, and thumbnail.
— QR Code Generator — Generate a QR code for any link directly from the hover card. Great for quickly opening a link on your phone.
— URL Expander — Reveal the true destination behind shortened URLs (bit.ly, t.co, tinyurl.com, etc.) before you click.
— Dead Link Detection — Broken links are flagged so you know before you click.
— Click History — Optionally track which links you've clicked, with stats and easy browsing. Toggle it off anytime for full privacy.
— Dark Mode Support — Automatically adapts to Instagram's dark mode and your system theme.
— Lightweight & Private — No account required. No data leaves your browser except to generate previews and QR codes. All history is stored locally on your device.

SETTINGS:
— Enable/disable the extension with one click
— Open links in new tab or same tab
— Toggle link previews on or off
— Toggle click history tracking
