Is Antigram - Explore & Reels Blocker Safe? — Extension Safety Profile

This extension requests only the "storage" permission, which allows it to save your blocking preferences locally on your device. It does not ask for access to your browsing history, tabs, or the content of any websites. For a content-blocking tool, this is an unusually minimal permission set, as many similar extensions also need host permissions to modify pages. The fact that it limits itself to local storage makes it a very low-risk installation from a data-access standpoint.

For extensions that alter the appearance or functionality of social media sites, there are general considerations to keep in mind. Even well-intentioned blockers can break when the target site updates its layout, potentially causing visual glitches or making parts of the page unusable until the extension is updated. While this extension declares it does not sell user data, a careful user should always review permission changes after updates, as future versions could ask for broader access.

Our assessment shows the strongest dimension is Permissions & Access, reflecting its minimal footprint, while the weakest is Maintenance & Ownership. This often indicates that the extension comes from a small or individual developer, which can mean slower updates or less long-term support certainty. The extension’s recent update and positive store reputation are reassuring, but users who rely on it should be aware of that typical trade-off with smaller publishers.
