Would it be easier for you to download videos from Instagram in your Chrome web browser? While there are plenty of extensions in Chrome, not all of them do what they claim to do! The most reliable way to download videos from Instagram is to use a third-party program, but there are a few extensions that might work for you. Please note that as Instagram changes its API, some of these extensions may stop working. Some update, but others just disappear and different extensions take their place. This wikiHow article lists some video downloaders for Instagram that are Chrome extensions.
Things You Should Know
