 // INSTRUCTIONS
 // 1. Open Instagram in Chrome
 // 2. Click on "followers" on any Instagram profile so you can see the list of followers
 // 3. Open developer tools by right clicking on the page and clicking "INSPECT"
 // 4. Copy the code below and paste in the developer tools console and press enter to run
 // 5. Script will not run if tab is navigated away from, minimized of unfocused (It is recommended to open a new chrome window or push tab to the side and let script run in background)
