Instagram Unfollower & Pending Request Canceler

About

Instagram Unfollower & Pending Request Canceler is a Chrome extension built to cancel pending Instagram follow requests one by one in a controlled and sequential flow.

This release focuses on stability, visibility, and long-run control instead of raw speed.

Key capabilities:

- Processes pending follow requests profile by profile in sequence
- Supports background tab management for long-running sessions
- Tracks progress and logs during large runs
- Preserves recent session state and activity history
- Attempts to recover and continue after interruptions
- Skips previously resolved profiles with memory support
- Supports multiple Instagram interface languages with advanced button-label settings

Usage options:

- Read profile links from the current Instagram page
- Upload a list from an Instagram archive export
- Run in background mode or visible tab mode
- Use automatic action mode or tab-open-only mode

This extension is designed for users who need a more controlled way to manage large numbers of pending follow requests.
