How to hide the Instagram feed and Explore on Chrome
Instagram's home feed and Explore grid are tuned to your habits and never end. Hiding them leaves the parts of Instagram you actually choose: messages and the profiles you visit.
Pro Included in ZenTab Pro, with a 7-day free trial
What disappears
- The home feed of posts
- The Explore grid and its link in the sidebar
What still works
- Direct messages
- Profiles and individual posts
- Posting
Hide the Instagram feed and Explore in four steps
- 1Add ZenTab to Chrome. It's free, and your first 7 days include Pro, so you can try this straight away.
- 2Open the ZenTab dashboard and go to Feed Eraser.
- 3In the Instagram card, switch on Hide Explore and feed.
- 4That's it. It applies instantly, even to Instagram tabs that are already open.
Switch it off again any time in the same place. Feed Eraser runs only in your browser: nothing is sent to Instagram or to ZenTab.
Rather block Instagram completely?
If you don't need Instagram at all during the day, blocking the whole site is simpler. See how to block Instagram on Chrome, on a schedule or with a daily time limit.
Frequently asked questions
Will I miss posts from close friends?
Visit their profiles directly, or switch the filter off for a few minutes when you want to catch up. You decide when, instead of the feed.
Does this work on the Instagram app?
No. Feed Eraser works on instagram.com in Chrome on your computer.
