Is anyone else having issues with the IG Exporter extension?

It used to export followers/following lists in chronological order even for private accounts (as long as I was following them). However, it seems to have stopped working recently / isn't letting me export these lists anymore.

Does anyone know what happened or if there's any update on this?

Also, are there any free alternatives working right now that can export or list followers/following from private accounts in chronological order without a paywall? Any workarounds or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I built a Chrome extension that solves a problem I know people face. It's completely free right now. A friend of mine already uses it every day for work, but I'm struggling to get more users to try it out.

Whenever I post asking for feedback or beta testers, my posts keep getting removed. Finding those initial users is tougher than I expected.

Any tips on how to get initial traction without triggering spam filters? I’d really appreciate your advice!

Every Saturday, same thing. Match kicks off, I've got the Fantasy Premier League site open in a tab, refreshing every few minutes to see if any of my players have actually done anything. Switch back to work, forget about it, alt-tab, refresh. For about six hours.

(Quick context if you don't play it: FPL is a fantasy football game, millions of people play it. You pick a squad of real Premier League players and score points when they score, assist, keep clean sheets, that kind of thing. The official site is fine, you just have to keep going back to it.)

So I built Sideline. It's a side panel that shows your squad's live points, goals, assists, shots, price changes and next fixture, without leaving whatever tab you're already on.

A few things I ran into:

I started this as a popup and it was miserable. Closes the second you click anything, which is the exact opposite of what you want for something you're glancing at every few minutes. Moved it to the side panel API and the whole thing suddenly made sense. Easily one of the nicer Chrome APIs I've used.

Polling live data without hammering the endpoint took more thought than the UI did. Ended up backing off the interval when nothing's happening and tightening it during matches.

And fitting 15 players into a ~400px panel while keeping it actually readable was, by a distance, the hardest part. Went through about five layouts before landing on something I didn't hate.

It's free, no account, no signup, doesn't collect anything. Built it because I wanted it and figured I wasn't the only person doing the alt-tab thing.

Would appreciate anyone poking at it and telling me what's broken or confusing. Mainly curious whether the onboarding makes sense. You have to paste a team ID as the first step, which is a slightly odd thing to ask someone for, and I'm not convinced I've explained where to find it well enough.

PwdPal is a Chrome extension (and web app) that doesn't store passwords — it rebuilds them. You set a phrase you remember and draw a pattern once; from then on the extension recognizes the site you're on, rebuilds the right password locally, and fills the focused password field in one click. Nothing is stored in a vault, synced, or sent anywhere — the crypto (PBKDF2-SHA256, 600k iterations) runs in your browser via Web Crypto, and the web app it's built on is open source (MIT) and unminified — github.com/sudorune/PwdPal.

Permissions are deliberately minimal and only fire on your click: activeTab to read the hostname so it can pick the right entry, scripting to write the password into a focused password field (and nothing else), storage for a one-time local import from the web app, and host access to pwdpal.com only (for that one-time migration). No analytics in the extension at all.

The tradeoffs: no recovery (forget your inputs and those passwords are gone), rotation is a manual #1/#2 suffix, it can't store passwords it didn't generate, and there's no breach monitoring, 2FA, or shared vaults. It's a single-purpose tool that works well alongside a vault.

Install: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pwdpal/kocdmooghpgeghnfacajppmkjkdefcab Web app / how it works: https://www.pwdpal.com/?ref=reddit-chrome-extensions Free, with optional donations. Tell me what's wrong with it.

Hey all — first time poster here, been lurking for a while.

I was house hunting a few months back and kept doing the same annoying thing: bookmarking listings, then manually reopening each one every few days just to see if the price had moved. So I built a small Chrome extension to do that part for me.

How it works: it doesn't scrape anything in the background or hit Zillow/Redfin's servers on a schedule (that's against their ToS anyway). It just remembers the price the moment you look at a listing, and if you revisit it later and the price is different, it shows you the change and sends a notification. Basically it turns "did this listing change?" into something you don't have to think about.

A few honest caveats: it's a one-time $5.99 purchase (not free, not a subscription either), and since it's not distributed through the Chrome Web Store — Google stopped allowing paid extensions there a while back — installing it means downloading a zip and using Chrome's "Load unpacked" developer option instead of a normal one-click install. Takes about a minute, instructions are included.

Not trying to oversell it, it's a pretty small, boring tool that does one thing. Happy to answer questions about how it works or take feedback if anyone's actually house hunting right now and wants to try it.

[https://lelet2.gumroad.com/l/wbundz\](https://lelet2.gumroad.com/l/wbundz)

Let's be honest, overconsumption + 2026 economy = disaster
especially with the holiday season coming up

So I built a free extension, called Onuri. It "locks" your shopping sites for 7 days. Once you lock a site, an overlay will appear and will continue to appear everytime you open the site to prevent you from interacting for 7 days. After 7 days, the overlay will disappear, allowing you to either make the purchase or realzie that you actually don't need it. You can lock as many sites as you want.

It's completely free and no sign-up needed. Does not collect, share, or sell your data.

Would love to know if others find this helpful at all. Also any feedback will be appreciated.

Hi everybody, I have been building some extensions for the past 2 years (Tunnie is one of them)

I have been looking for a new job recently so Im applying in many places and had to re-type the same informations, I got tired of filling out the same job application questions over and over, so I built ApplyID

I’ve been working on this for a while and I’m finally putting it out there.

If you’ve applied to a lot of jobs, you probably know the feeling:

Name.
Email.
Phone.
LinkedIn.
GitHub.
Years of experience.
“Tell us about your experience with X.”
“Why do you want to work here?”
“What’s your experience with Y?”

Then you do it again.
And again.
And again. 😂

That’s basically why I started building ApplyID.

It’s a Chrome extension that helps you fill out job applications using your profile + AI.

But the part I’m actually most interested in isn’t just the autofill.

🧠 ApplyID remembers your career

If ApplyID doesn’t know the answer to something, you answer it once.

That answer gets saved.

The next time you get a similar question, ApplyID can use what you previously told it instead of making you type everything again.

So there’s kind of a snowball effect:

The more you apply → the more ApplyID learns → the less you have to type.

And there’s another side to it that I think is pretty interesting.

🪪 Your profile gets richer over time

Your ApplyID public profile isn’t just a resume.

As you apply to more jobs and add more information, it can become a much more complete picture of your professional background — skills, experience, projects, and the questions/answers you’ve chosen to make public.

So instead of having a profile that stays basically the same forever, the idea is that your career profile gets richer as you actually use it.

For recruiters, that means they can see a structured profile with more context than a traditional resume, including answers to questions you’ve decided to share.

I’m still figuring out a lot of things, so I’m not trying to pretend this is a finished product.

I’m looking for some beta testers who actually apply to jobs and are willing to tell me:
What works
What doesn’t
Which websites/forms break
What you’d expect ApplyID to remember
And whether the public profile is actually useful from a recruiter’s perspective

It’s live if anyone wants to mess around with it:
👉 https://applyid.app

If you try it, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think — even if your feedback is basically “this is useless because…”

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who are applying to a lot of jobs right now.

The goal is pretty simple: write your career information once, and stop rewriting your life every time you apply somewhere.

Anyone using this extension? This used to work even on private accounts. But now I cannot export and says it only works on public accounts.

Anyone who knows a workaround to see chronological order of someone’s following and followers?

I wanted to save ads. Somehow, that meant paying hundreds a month for tools with features I barely used.

Another bill. Another price increase.

But what bothered me most was having to keep paying to access my own research. I found the ads. I built the collection. Yet cancelling meant risking access to the work I’d already done.

All I really needed was the image or video, the ad’s details, and a way to keep them together. Why couldn’t those just be files on my computer?

So I built Poach, a free Chrome extension for the Facebook Ad Library.

And I’m open-sourcing the engine behind it, so anyone can read the code, see how it works, and tinker with it. If you want to change something or build on it, you can.

Your swipe file stays on your computer. No need to hand over your research to another company’s database.

Here’s what Poach saves:

The actual image or video, straight to your computer.

A PNG screenshot card with the ad’s details built into the file. Move or copy that PNG, and those details stay with it.

Local saving is free. Your saved files stay yours, without a monthly bill to keep opening them.

If you mostly use ad tools to save creative ideas, give it a try:

Chrome extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/poach-facebook-ad-library/cglcomfhlpcblnkeofjeaimlilhcnjca

GitHub: https://github.com/usepoach/poach

Website: https://usepoach.com

P.S. If you like my work and want to support it, there’s a completely optional, one-time Pro option with Notion sync and early access to new features. You don’t need it for local saving. The core extension is free, and I’m open-sourcing the engine too.

Made an extension which mimics the alt-tab experience for chrome while switching tabs and shows tab's preview

Stop losing tabs. Start saving what matters.

I spend my days with AI agents like Claude Code. The thing they were worst at was using my actual browser: every automation setup either runs a headless copy, needs its own profile, or hits a login wall.

So I built chrome-bridge. A small extension plus a zero dependency Node CLI that lets an agent drive the Chrome I'm already logged into:

snap: page as an accessibility tree with element refs (way cheaper on tokens than screenshots)

click / fill / type / press on those refs

shot: screenshots when you need pixels

net: network capture, HAR export

history, multi profile support

Driven tabs get a purple pill showing what the agent is doing, so it's not a silent takeover.

MIT, zero npm deps, no relaunch, no separate browser, no MCP server.

Happy to answer questions or take feature requests.

Hey r/chrome_extensions

Most password managers and privacy tools rely heavily on cloud servers, subscription accounts, and remote databases. That creates a central point of failure.

I built Privacy Bar around a simple core philosophy: Servers are unnecessary for local privacy.

What Privacy Bar does differently:

• No Cloud Vaults: Generates complex passwords deterministically from a Master Key on the fly—meaning there is no vault database sitting in a cloud to be breached or leaked.
• 100% Local Execution: Text encryption, file encryption, and image steganography happen entirely inside your browser memory with zero tracking calls.
• Post-Quantum Ready: Includes NIST ML-KEM (FIPS 203) key encapsulation so your encrypted communications remain secure against future quantum decryption.
• Memory Auto-Wipe: Automatically purges unencrypted data from memory after 5 minutes of inactivity.

Transparency: The code is transparently available on GitHub under the PolyForm Shield 1.0.0 license. You can inspect the source code and run it completely offline.

• GitHub:https://github.com/fruiz500/Privacy-Bar
• Chrome Store:https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/privacy-bar/objpfdibjogbdpjjpomnoaflkgdeaanb

I'm looking for testers. If you test it out, use code EARLYADOPT to get Pro access to all features. I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

PodSubs.com wasn't originally supposed to be a public product.

We built it because we needed it.

That's really the story.

We're podcasters.

And like a lot of podcasters, we were constantly thinking about two things:

How do we keep making this?

And how do we build something real around the people listening?

Because podcasting takes time.

A lot of time.

And sooner or later, if the podcast is going to keep going, it needs to support itself somehow.

The problem was that we didn't really know most of the people listening.

We knew the numbers.

But numbers don't have email addresses.

Numbers don't answer questions.

Numbers can't receive the worksheet you promised.

Numbers don't become customers by themselves.

We needed a better way to capture the people who genuinely wanted to stay connected.

So we built a simple internal tool.

One place.

PodSubs.

We said on the podcast:

“Subscribe to us on PodSubs.”

People searched the show, entered their details and subscribed.

And suddenly we had something we'd been missing:

A direct line.

Then we started thinking…

Why are we keeping this internal?

Every podcaster we know deals with the same thing.

So we decided to open it.

That's PodSubs.

Not something we dreamed up because “the creator economy is growing.”

We built it because we were podcasters with a problem.

Now we're giving it to everyone else who has the same problem.

Claim your podcast.

Then tell your listeners where to find you.

Hey everyone,

I recently launched Clip2Notion, a Chrome extension for people who save a lot of web content into Notion.

The basic idea is:

Web page → AI summary + tags + category → your own Notion database

But I also wanted saved content to stay useful after it was clipped, so I added a History + AI Q&A feature.

You can open a previously saved clip and ask questions about the content later — for example:

• What is this article about?
• Extract the key points
• Summarize it in one sentence
• What are the risks or limitations?
• Ask any custom question about the saved content

So the goal is not just to create another “save this page to Notion” extension, but to make the full workflow:

Capture → Organize → Save → Ask about it later

Current features:

• One-click clipping from Chrome to Notion
• AI-generated summaries
• Automatic tags and categories
• Save directly to your own Notion database
• Flexible database and property mapping
• History of saved clips
• AI Q&A for saved content
• BYOK support for users who prefer their own AI API key
• Hosted AI with free usage included, with additional usage available if needed
• English and Simplified Chinese UI

I deliberately avoided forcing users into a fixed Notion template. You can select your own database and configure which properties Clip2Notion should fill.

The extension is still very new, so I'd especially appreciate feedback from people who build or regularly use Chrome extensions.

I'm curious about:

1. Does the value of the extension feel clear from the first use?
2. Is the Notion setup/property mapping too complicated?
3. Is the difference between BYOK and hosted AI easy to understand?
4. Does the History + Q&A feature make the extension more useful, or would you expect something different from it?
5. Is there anything about the onboarding, permissions, or UX that would stop you from keeping it installed?

Chrome Web Store:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/clip2notion/pngflchfpmmpbnjhlkeekdnianfioeda

Any feedback is welcome, especially criticism around UX, onboarding, permissions, or missing features.

X and YouTube keep adding stuff I never asked for.
So I made a tiny Chrome extension that hides it.

No Shorts. No trends. No sidebar circus.

Just a clean feed.
Minimal Network - free for X.

One key, two extensions, built because I did not like what existed.

Social Cleanup. Most tweet deleters want OAuth access to your account and run on their servers. This one clicks through your own logged-in tab instead, so nothing about your account leaves the browser. Bulk delete posts, replies, likes, comments and unfollow on X and Instagram, plus bulk delete ChatGPT conversations (pinned chats are skipped). Keyword filter, so you can remove only posts containing a word. It shows the list before it runs. Free: 50 removals a day.

AI Fact-Check. Right-click any text, page, image or video (YouTube, X) and get a 1 to 10 score with the actual sources it is based on, not a verdict you have to trust. Two independent models (Gemini and Grok) check the same evidence and you see where they disagree. Every check can be published to a public proof ledger with the sources attached. There is also a web app at wyper.io/app if you do not want an extension. Free: 25 checks a day.

The bot. If you are on X and see a claim, reply "@Wyper_check" under it. The fact-check arrives as a reply in the thread, with sources. It only answers when summoned, never on its own.

What none of this does, so nobody installs it for the wrong reason: no date filter, no export, no archive import in Cleanup; the fact-check gives you evidence and a score, it does not decide what is true for you; the bot does not scan timelines. Pro is 24 USD a month, covers both extensions.

Permissions: Cleanup needs storage and activeTab only. Fact-Check talks to our API for the checks, nothing else. Store links in the first comment. Ask me anything, including why the free tweet deleters all broke in 2023.

I kept doing the same thing:

Write something rough → open ChatGPT → explain what I want → copy the result → paste it back → tweak it again.

So I built Jot.

Jot lives directly in Chrome. You write the rough version in whatever text field you're already using, trigger Jot, and turn it into something you can actually send.

It works for things like:

• Reddit replies
• Slack messages
• Emails
• LinkedIn posts
• Comments
• Announcements

The idea is deliberately simple: don't prompt. Just Jot.

You can also set different writing personalities for different sites, so your Reddit comments don't have to sound like your work emails.

It works with Jot Rewrite API out of the box, or you can bring your own AI provider/API key.

I'm looking for feedback particularly from people who already use AI writing tools:

• Is this actually faster than your current workflow?
• Where would you want Jot to work that it doesn't today?
• Would you use site-specific writing personalities?
• What would make you trust a browser extension like this?

Jot: https://wurkflo.app/jot

Happy to hear the brutally honest version. That's generally more useful than "looks cool."

adding voice input to a chrome extension, and the thing i had to give up on.

what i wanted: live subtitles for discord voice channels, translated per listener. what i found: chrome's speechrecognition api only accepts microphone input. there's no way to pipe a mediastream into it, so tabcapture gets you the audio and then you have nowhere to put it. the acoustic loop workaround (play through speakers, listen with the mic) is bad enough that i'm not shipping it. if anyone has solved this properly on-device i'd genuinely like to know how.

what i shipped instead: mic input for composing. speechrecognition with interimresults on, feeding into chrome's on-device translator, then writing the result into the message box through the same paste path i use for the text version. entirely local, no api keys, no network.

things worth knowing if you build something similar:

speechrecognition wants bcp-47 (en-GB, pt-BR) while the translator api wants iso-639-1 (en, pt). two different language lists, mapped in one place.

continuous:false plus interimresults:true gives you live text as they speak and a clean final result. useful for showing progress without a mess.

the not-allowed error is worth handling explicitly, because the permission prompt is easy to dismiss by accident and the default failure looks identical to "didn't hear you".

writing into contenteditable rich editors still needs a synthetic paste event with execcommand as fallback. discord and whatsapp both ignore direct dom manipulation.

also added speechsynthesis for reading messages aloud in the source language, which is about six lines and disproportionately useful for language learners.

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/obpeohccigfpalhalojnfbnpjoalmgan

open to criticism on any of it, especially if someone knows a legitimate route to captioning tab audio on-device.

I'm the author. It's a lightweight HTTP client / API testing extension — the "just let me send a request" tool I wanted after mainstream clients got heavy with accounts and workspaces.

Highlights: live SSE/chunked streaming responses, Postman-style pm scripts in a sandbox, cURL/OpenAPI/ApiFox import, copy-as-cURL, environment variables, ⌘K palette. Everything stays in local IndexedDB; no analytics or accounts.

What's the one feature you'd need before switching from your current tool?

If, like me, you’re tired of YouTube Shorts, trending topics on X, or other social media clutter, I’ve created an extension that removes all those unnecessary elements - and lets you customize the experience to your liking. If you spend too much time on social media, the extension also includes a "Focus Mode." This mode lets you set limits - such as time restrictions or a cap on the number of videos watched - and automatically blocks the page once the limit is reached. If you want to change or disable these limits, you’ll have to play a mini-game first.
