Adds a download button and an open-in-new-tab button directly inside Instagram —
for feed posts, reels, carousels, and stories.

Features:

Download or open photos and videos from feed posts, reels, and carousel albums
Download or open story videos and images, including MSE/blob-based video streams
Resolves the highest available quality via Instagram's internal API before falling back to DOM extraction
Filenames include username, date, and time — no more unnamed files
Buttons are injected inline next to existing controls — no floating overlay, no popups
Handles client-side navigation between posts and stories without requiring a page reload

Based on Instagram Download Button by y252328.

This is a heavily extended fork. Additions include:

Multi-slide carousel support (tracks which slide is active)
Story video interception for blob/MSE streams (bypasses missing direct URLs)
Automatic username detection with multiple DOM fallback strategies
API-based high-quality URL resolution
Improved filename templating with %username%, %date%, %time%, and %filename%

Requirements:

Install Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey in your browser, then click Install.

Note: Tested on Chrome with Tampermonkey. Instagram frequently changes its front-end — if something breaks, check the version history for updates.
