some sites with javascript+video do not work at all

So they can put people like you on a watchlist.

Because they don’t want you saving them, they want you to keep coming to their app to see them.

Click on the lock button in the URL bar, then click around on that menu until a window with various tabs comes out.
Go to the "media" tab and there should be a list of all the media files of the page, including your image.
I don't save instagram images often so this method is fine for me. Otherwise I'd just look for some userscript or something like that.
For videos, YoutubeDLG (it's youtube-dl with a gui, you'll find it on github) works perfectly. You can even input the instagram account and it will download all its videos.

youtube-dl
*dabs*

love his channel

you don't use the inspector lmao you have to go to the Network tab (in Firefox, not sure what it's called in Chrome). there you'll get a direct link to literally every asset loaded by the website. if it's in your browser they can't do absolutely anything to hide it from you

pip install instagram-scraper
instagram-scraper some-slut

>Click on the lock button in the URL bar, then click around on that menu until a window with various tabs comes out.
Or, y'know, right click > view page info

Then I'd have to set up python on wangblows

There is an addon for Firefox.

things you do to get pics of bimbos on instagram amirite?

This. If you're not a script kiddie you can easily scrape every fucking asset from instagram.

how many followers does Jow Forums have? I'm sitting pretty at 26

The heck I was looking everywhere for it and didn't see that the element above was folded or whatever

Thanks for the tips

It's not that hard.

greasemonkey is dead and outdated, doesn't even work on 60+ firefox.
use tampermonkey or violentmonkey

Thanks for the tip I'm not well versed in HTML :^)

Lmao didn't know that.
I used to disable all of those context menu entries before Quantum made the extensions to do that not work anymore.
Thank you very much.

I'm using it on firefox 62 right now

wtf

See

I made a AutoHotKey script to deloss jpgs into pngs using this technique. It automatically detects image borders in a lot of programs and elsewise tries to do it by visual identification. All I need to do to get a lossless image is hit Win+I and it saves everything I can currently see. I've been thinking about cleaning it up and releasing it but there's quite a bit of code to go through.
