Is FastSave for Instagram safe?
FastSave for Instagram reads selected Instagram profile and post media URLs to download media locally.
When you use its save buttons on Instagram pages, the extension requests Instagram's page data or reads media URLs from the page. It sends the selected media URLs and Instagram username to its background script, which downloads a single file or packages multiple media files into a ZIP on your device.
