Instagram Bulk Unsaver

A Manifest V3 Chrome Extension to bulk-unsave multiple saved posts on Instagram.

Features

• Multi-Selection Checkboxes: Injects checkboxes onto saved post thumbnails.
• Shift + Click Range Selection: Select or deselect a range of posts.
• Session Recovery: Stores the queue in localStorage. If the page is refreshed or closed, it prompts to resume.
• Action Block Protection: Detects "Try again later" blocks, pauses for 5 minutes, and retries the post.
• Background Execution: Uses a Web Worker background timer to avoid browser throttling in background tabs.
• Accidental Navigation Guard: Prevents accidental page navigation or closure while running.
• Performance Summary: Displays stats (unsaved, skipped, elapsed time) and auto-reloads after completion.
