Social Switch: Anonymous Instagram and TikTok Extension

Access any profile, posts, tagged posts, stories profile or tags on Instagram or any profile on TikTok and the extension will redirect automatically to web viewers.

From Instagram URLs to Picuki.com or Imginn.com, and from TikTok URLs to UrleBird.com or Xaller.com.

Select a viewer option and enable or disable redirection through the popup.

-- Supported URLs --
Instagram:
instagram.com/handle
instagram.com/handle/tagged
instagram.com/stories/handle (only Imginn)
instagram.com/p/short_code (only Imginn)
instagram.com/handle/p/short_code (only Imginn)
instagram.com/reel/short_code (only Imginn)
instagram.com/handle/reel/short_code (only Imginn)
instagram.com/explore/tags/tag_name (only Picuki)

TikTok:
tiktok.com/@handle

-- Important --
For Instagram post URLs (instagram.com/p/short_code) and Instagram stories profile URLs (instagram.com/stories/handle), regardless of the redirection option, the extension will redirect to Imginn.com. This viewer uses the original post short code, and it has the option to view only stories via URL. However, for tag URLs (instagram.com/explore/tags/tag_name), irrespective of the redirection option, the extension will redirect to Picuki.com, as only this viewer supports tag search.

-- Note --
This extension is not affiliated with Instagram, TikTok, Picuki, Imginn, UrleBird and Xaller.
