Support hiding reels #34

Closed itay-sho closed 10 months ago

Hey, is there a way to hide reels and other "instagram suggestions" that are now part of the feed?

I tried playing with it by using javacsript like that: a = document.querySelectorAll('article:has( a[href^=\/reels])') a.forEach((e) => {e.parentElement.removeChild(e)})

but it seems that it affects some of Instagram logic and breaks the page. I also tried something less intrusive like changing the display to none but still it makes problems

I would be glad to add this feature in a pull request, any ideas how to bypass these problems?

Hi @itay-sho. First of all sorry for the late response. Unfortunately I couldn't maintain this for several months, What you propose is a very useful feature that many people have asked for. I think it's tricky. Tried similar approaches as that one without success.

As soon as I can dedicate a day to the extension, I'll focus on this issue

Please do it; that would add a great feature and notify me when it's done. Reels are very addictive and kill our productivity.

This is done now! @PrasannaLanka @itay-sho , sorry it took ages! I'll uplaod the new package to the Chrome Store and it should update at some point (they need to review it so it might take a few days)
