/**
 * Instagram web unfollow script
 *
 * WHAT IS IT?
 * A script to unfollow people in the instagram website
 *
 * WHY?
 * I needed to clean my account so I quickly did this
 *
 * HOW TO USE:
 * Go to your instagram profile while logged in and run the following code in your console
 *
 * WHAT DOES IT DO EXACTLY?
 * It opens your followers list and goes one by one unfollowing with a random interval of 1 to 10
 * seconds in between
 *
 * CAN I GET BANNED?
 * Yes, although you will first be notified several times about strange activity
 * Simply put, use it at your own risk and not for long.
