About this 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 or Imginn, and from TikTok URLs to UrleBird or Xaller.

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

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

TikTok:
tiktok[dot]com/@handle

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

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

Developer comments
It's necessary to add that despite being anonymous for accessing Instagram and TikTok, the web services Picuki, Imginn, UrleBird, and Xaller are commercial and may track users.

For this reason, it is recommended to use these services with VPNs, ad blockers, and other methods to inhibit trackers.
