Reel Scroller is a Firefox extension that:
- runs only on Instagram pages
- auto-scrolls Reels when the current video ends
- skips visibly sponsored Reels
- stores only a local on/off preference in Firefox extension storage
The extension does not collect user data according to the repository documentation.
Reel Scroller follows these principles:
- minimal data storage
- least-privilege permissions where practical
- no remote code execution
- no collection of personal data
- no transmission of browsing data to external servers
Please report issues such as:
- unauthorized data access
- permission abuse
- unexpected network requests
- code execution vulnerabilities
- cross-site impact outside Instagram
- persistence or storage issues
- problems that could expose local extension data
The following are generally not considered security vulnerabilities:
- feature requests
- cosmetic bugs
- Instagram layout changes that break ad detection or scrolling
- normal autoplay behavior differences between browsers
- issues caused by third-party changes on Instagram
Confirmed vulnerabilities will be fixed in a future release and disclosed after a reasonable remediation period.
