  Instagram Pro Tools: The Ultimate Desktop Viewing Experience 👑
  Tired of Instagram's clunky desktop layout? Instagram Pro Tools is a lightweight, one-click solution designed to give you back your screen space and clean up your feed.
  
  Whether you're browsing in split-screen while multitasking or just want a distraction-free view, this extension gives you full control over the IG web interface.
  
  Key Features:
  🎬 Theater Mode: Instantly hide the comment sidebar and expanded "happy birthday" messages. Your photos and videos will automatically stretch to fill 100% of the available space—perfect for high-quality viewing.
  
  🚫 Hide the Pause Overlay: Tired of that giant, white play button blocking the center of the screen every time you pause a video? Toggle it OFF and enjoy a clean, unobstructed view of every frame.
  
  ⚡ Toggle on the Fly: Use our sleek dark-mode popup menu to turn features on or off instantly without refreshing the page.
  
  🔒 Privacy Focused: No tracking, no data collection, and zero lag. Just pure CSS magic.
  
  Level up your Instagram experience today. 🚀
  
  ### Known Limitations & Store Warning:
  **Important Note:** Instagram frequently updates its platform with obfuscated code and changing layouts. While IG Pro Tools is actively maintained to provide a premium theater-mode experience, some features may occasionally require updates to remain compatible with Instagram's latest changes. This is a "best-effort" tool designed for power users who want more control over their viewing experience. Sometimes just resizing the window, or refreshing the page while playing with the buttons fixes some issues.
