Hi folks, this update makes the extension work again on Instagram --- Meta changed something on the HTML which broke it (unintentionally, I'm sure!)... Thanks to the users who brought this to my attention! This update also: - Instagram: allows you to hide the search/explore menu button (thanks to the user who suggested this on GitHub!) - YouTube: makes hiding of account images more complete, such that they are also hidden on comments (thanks to the user who pointed this oversight out on GitHub!) Cheers, Ulrik
