FakeBlock — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-07-01
FakeBlock does not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal data. Full stop.
No data leaves your device. The extension runs entirely in your browser. It never sends any
information to us or to any third party. There are no analytics, no tracking, no remote servers.
What it accesses. A content script runs only on https://www.instagram.com/*, where it reads
the page's visible post labels ("Sponsored", "Ad", "Suggested for you") in order to hide those
posts. It does not read your messages, credentials, or personal content, and it does not modify
your account.
What it stores. Two on/off preferences (hide suggested / hide ads) and a local counter of how
many posts it has hidden, kept in Chrome's storage on your own device/browser profile. You can
clear this any time by removing the extension.
Permissions.
storage — to remember your two toggle settings and the hidden-count.
host access to instagram.com — required to hide posts on the Instagram website.
