igplus-extension's Issues

Non minified version

Hi can you please update this repo to included non minified version of the extension code? Currently all the JS/CSS files are minified to only one line, which makes it harder to read.

Instagram only shows white page when disable recommendations is on

Since yesterday I only get a white page when starting with variant=following. After disabling the setting, putting my profile into the url bar and then going to "home" it works. Also the variant=following url is the same and still works. I don't know if meta changed something on their end.

This is on Arch Linux, latest packages, Firefox 127.0.2

Nothing appears on Instagram after the extension has been installed.

• Type: Feature Request
• Viewport: both desktop & mobile

Description: 

Nothing appears on the Instagram page after the extension has been installed. Which is not the best UX practice and may confuse some of the users.

It will be great to have something like a 3-step explanation or tutorial that explains how it works. Not too much info, just really quick, minified overflow modal. Probably something based on the already existing "rate it" popup.

The stories section sometimes do not appear if recommendations are turned off.
