This updated code will work (it's working for me):

  const delay = (ms) => new Promise(_ => setTimeout(_, ms))
  const findButton = (txt) => [...document.querySelectorAll("button").entries()].map(([pos, btn]) => btn).filter(btn => btn.innerText === txt)[0]

The key arrived almost immediately after I completed the purchase, and the activation process was seamless. I simply entered the key, followed the instructions, and within minutes, my Windows 11 Pro was fully activated without any problems. It felt like a huge relief since I didn’t have to worry about expiration or activation errors.

And they partnered with microsoft

I have re-written it to sort iron some issues out with how fast it was unfollowing people (and not all of it registering), here is my version for anyone interested : https://github.com/FaisalAhmed123/Instagram-Unfollow/blob/main/main

@MahanKdi , Just Log into the Instagram on web browser . open the following list

Then go the the browser settings and open up the dev tools

Select Console , and copy paste this code there

Here's the working code :

  const findButton = (txt) => [...document.querySelectorAll("button").entries()].map(([pos, btn]) => btn).filter(btn => btn.innerText === txt)[0]

  console.log("Start")
  for (let i = 0; i < UNFOLLOW_LIMIT; i++) {
    const $next = findButton("Following")          
    if (!$next) { continue }
    $next.scrollIntoViewIfNeeded()  
    $next.click()
    await delay(100)
    $confirm = findButton("Unfollow")    
    if ($confirm) {
