Reels Scrubber: Video Controller for Instagram

Adds native controls to Instagram Reels and videos.

⚡ WORKING MAY 2026: Fully updated and verified to bypass the recent May 6th Instagram layout changes that broke other video controllers. Persistent audio and scrubbing are 100% functional. Reels Scrubber restores native HTML5 playback controls for supported Instagram videos so you can scrub, adjust volume, and change playback speed more easily. If you’re frustrated by missing seek bars, layered player UI issues, or videos muting unexpectedly, this extension is designed to improve playback control while preserving normal page navigation. Core Features: - Native Seek Bar (Scrubber): Jump to any point in a video quickly. - Audio Persistence Improvements: Helps reduce unwanted re-muting behavior during normal browsing. - Playback Speed Control: Speed up or slow down videos as needed. - Broad Page Coverage: Built for main feed, reel pages, profile reels, and supported embedded Instagram video contexts. How to use it: 1. Install the extension. 2. Open or refresh any page containing an Instagram page with video content. 3. Use native video controls directly in supported views. Technical & Usage Notes: - If an Instagram tab was already open during installation, refresh the tab once to initialize the extension.
