Chrome extension that lets you view your friend's Instagram Stories in the browser.

Chrome IG Story injects your friend's Instagram Stories above your feed on the Instagram.com desktop website just like it appears in the Instagram mobile app.

Click on the icon of the Instagram user to view their story. You can also right click the icon to download their story.

You can see Suggested Stories if you go to the Explore feed.

In addition to viewing stories on the Instagram website, you can also access stories within the popup by clicking the extension's icon.

Right click the icon of the Instagram user to download their Story.

You can see Suggested Stories if you go to the Explore feed.

Currently, Chrome IG Story does not mark the Story as being "seen", so all new content will remain new if you view it with this extension. If you view that user's Story on your phone and refresh the page, the new content will be gray.

You can right click the image/video in the galley and "Copy Image/Video Address" to grab the link of the photo or video and share it. However, be respectful of the user's privacy when sharing the URL, as the link will work until Instagram deletes the photo/video off its server (sometimes days after the Story has expired).

git clone https://github.com/CaliAlec/ChromeIGStory.git
