So what is it?

InstagramUnfollowers is a browser-based tool that shows you which Instagram accounts you follow but that do not follow you back. There is nothing to download or install. You visit the project's website, copy a block of code it provides, log into Instagram in your browser, open the browser's developer console, paste the code, and click Run. The scan runs directly in your browser and shows you a list of non-followers when it finishes. The tool includes a whitelist feature. If there are accounts you want to keep following regardless of whether they follow you back, you can mark them so they are protected. The whitelist saves between sessions, and you can export it as a backup file, import one from a previous backup, or clear it entirely through a Settings panel. Once the scan completes, you can select accounts from the results and unfollow them. The Settings panel also lets you adjust the timing of how fast the script runs, which helps avoid hitting Instagram's rate limits during large scans. Mobile Android users can access the same functionality by using a browser app called Eruda, which provides a built-in developer console on mobile. The project notes that the script works on both Chromium-based browsers (like Chrome) and Firefox-based browsers, though it runs somewhat slower on mobile devices. All data, including the whitelist, is stored locally inside your browser using a built-in browser storage mechanism. Nothing is sent to external servers. The project is not affiliated with Instagram and carries a disclaimer to use it at your own risk.
