Adds a button to open the original source of an IG story, post or profile picture. No jQuery.

View the original source of a Posts, Story, and Profile picture⁽¹⁾
- Even on private and not followed pages (requires login)
- ⁽¹⁾ Profile picture viewing is now achieved using the script's developer options, see more below on the settings section
Anonymous stories - Ability to view user stories without them knowing
Saving a post directly from the context menu (right-click)
- Note: This is just convenience and it doesn't save the full size version
Posts show the full timestamp instead of a relative and more generic time
Ability to customise your experience (key bindings, default actions, etc. See more settings below)

These key bindings can be changed on the script's settings, see more below

Changing the key bindings - These always use the Alt/⌥ key in combination with a letter, this option allows you to change the default letter.
Open source button behavior - Redirect or open in a new tab with or without focus.
Developer options
- Options available on the script's settings menu (see images below). These are more developer-oriented, but by following the provided instructions, anyone can use them.
- Session ID:
  - The session id determines your current login and it's used to get full size profile pictures using the instagram API. Without this, you will get low-res profile pictures. See how to get your session id on the images below and the News/Difficulties section for more a detailed explanation.

Note: I cannot guarantee compatibility with third-party Instagram viewers/extensions (common on Opera), only with the actual website.

Pop-ups might be blocked on the first time opening any picture, you need to allow it (on the address bar)
Multiple pop-ups to allow Cross-Origin Requests might appear on the first time, accept those as well.
