Take control of your Instagram™ feed. Hide Stories, Reels and Explore tabs, and get proper video playback controls to browse with more focus.

———

Are you tired of endless, algorithm-driven Reels and Stories derailing your focus on Instagram™? Do you wish you could simply skip through a video without having to re-watch the whole thing?

Conscious for Instagram is the tool you need. This extension gives you back control over your feed, allowing you to hide distracting elements and adding video playback features. Create a calmer, more intentional, and less overwhelming browsing experience.

KEY FEATURES:
⁕ Hide Instagram Stories: Remove the Stories tray from the top of your feed to reduce the fear of missing out and help you focus on the posts you care about.
⁕ Hide Instagram Reels: Clean up your navigation bar by removing the Reels tab. Stop falling into endless, distracting video feeds.
⁕ Hide the Explore Page: Disable the Explore tab to avoid getting pulled into a sea of algorithm-recommended content.
⁕ Advanced Video Controls: Add a proper progress bar to all videos on Instagram.
    ⁕ Click to Seek: Instantly jump to any part of a video with a single click on the progress bar.
    ⁕ Thumbnail Previews: Hover your mouse over the timeline to see a small thumbnail preview of the frame, just like on YouTube.
    ⁕ Timestamp Tooltip: Always know where you are in a video with a clear timestamp that appears on hover.
⁕ Simple & Private: Your preferences are easily managed from a popup menu. The extension respects your privacy, with no extra permissions required.

WHY YOU WOULD WANT TO INSTALL IT:
⁕ Reclaim Your Focus: This extension is perfect for anyone who wants to use Instagram more intentionally. By hiding the most addictive parts of the platform, you can reduce mindless scrolling and focus on connecting with the people and content you actually follow.
⁕ A Better Video Experience: Stop the frustration of dealing with Instagram's limited video player. Our enhanced controls make watching and re-watching videos easier and more efficient.
⁕ Fully Reversible: Want to see Reels or Stories for a bit? Just open the popup and flick a switch. You are in complete control of your experience, and your settings are saved for your next visit.
