Social Switch v0.4

Browser extension that redirects Instagram URLs to anonymous viewers


Edited May 12, 2024


Social Switch v1.0: Finally, Firefox


Formerly called Picuki Switch, Social Switch automatically redirects to Picuki.com or Imginn.com when you access any Instagram profile, posts, tagged posts, stories profile, or tags.

Install it from the Chrome Web Store.

Select a viewer option and enable or disable redirection through the popup. Note that some URLs may be redirected using a specific viewer, regardless of the selected option.

For the upcoming releases, it is planned to include UrleBird, a TikTok web viewer.
