Tryad Reyn (ID: 0000002228fc3b30) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/24/2023 This is a great extension but it no longer remembers the directory you are saving photos to. This makes you manually navigate back to the correct directory each photograph which is verrrry annoying. Its great besides this though. I really wish the photo auto-named itself with the name of my instagram profile that its being saved from also, that would make it perfect instead of just Image - 12345.jpg it could be LandscapePhotog - 12345.jpg

Zareena Bonda (ID: 0000007dd59002c8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/27/2023 Love this extension. I had a previous version. But then noticed it had uninstalled itself. So I had to remember what extension I even had. I like it because it has an arrow on the ig picture to make it easy to download in one click. Also works with stories. However, doesn't work for downloading video.
