A browser extension modifying the Instagram website for a cleaner layout, removing ads and suggesting posts, allowing more space to view photos and videos.
Improved Layout for Instagram.com is a browser extension available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge that modifies the default Instagram.com website to have a cleaner, decluttered layout. It was created by an independent developer to provide an ad-free Instagram browsing experience.
The extension removes all sponsored posts and suggestions from the main feed and story reels. This leaves more space to focus on viewing photos and videos shared by the accounts you actually follow. It also removes the sidebar which normally shows suggested posts, freeing up screen real estate on desktop to see more feed posts at once.
In settings, you can toggle individual sections like stories or the sidebar on or off if you want to customize the layout. There is also an option to make stories rectangular instead of full width. Overall, the extension aims to bring back the simple photo sharing experience many enjoyed in Instagram's early days.
With over 200,000 users, Improved Layout for Instagram.com is popular for minimalists and those distracted or overwhelmed by ads and suggestions taking over Instagram's interface today. It works best for browsing casually rather than trying to grow an audience or account.
