IG Follower Export Tool - IG Email Extractor
Version 2.10.6 View in Chrome Web Store
Extension Details
Context-Aware Verdict
The extension has a moderate user base of 8,000 users with a solid 4.5-star rating from 130 reviews, suggesting generally positive user experiences. However, the developer domain "igfollowerexporttool.com" appears to be purpose-built for this specific tool rather than an established company, which reduces trust indicators. The extension's core functionality of extracting Instagram follower data and emails is inherently sensitive and operates in a gray area regarding Instagram's terms of service.
The extension's permission set is particularly concerning given its stated purpose. The cookies permission combined with Instagram access creates significant privacy risks, as it can potentially access and manipulate authentication cookies and session data. The unlimitedStorage permission allows indefinite data collection and storage on your device. Most critically, the extension operates by scraping Instagram data, which likely violates Instagram's terms of service and could result in account restrictions or bans. The broad host permissions, while limited to Instagram in this case, still represent extensive access to a major social platform.
Consider running this extension in a separate Chrome profile to isolate potential risks from your main browsing activities. Be aware that using this tool may violate Instagram's terms of service and could jeopardize your Instagram account. Only use with accounts you're willing to risk, and avoid extracting data from accounts without explicit permission, as this may raise legal and ethical concerns.
