Chrome ExtensionSocialv2.0.85Updated July 14, 2026

Web Gram

Web Client - Web Gram

Keep Instagram open in Chrome's side panel while you work - mobile layout, Alt+E shortcut, and optional media saves.

Web Gram loads the real Instagram website in your browser's side panel so your feed can sit next to any tab. Sign in on instagram.com as usual, switch between side panel and full-page phone frames, and save photos or videos to your downloads folder when you are allowed to keep them. No analytics, no developer servers - only your layout preference is stored locally.

No analytics, no trackers, no developer servers. You sign in on instagram.com - your password never passes through the extension. Independent of Meta.
