UPDATE DECEMBER 2020

• IG changed the source output for videos in posts and carousel: fixed with inspiration by @jomifepe

2. Opens full size image from single image pop-up, single-image page and carousel posts.
3. Opens video file on single-video page or from video popup and carousels.
4. Files can be saved directly in Chrome (limited) or from browser window in Firefox.
5. Quick access with the keyboard shortcut alt+f (see options).
6. Instagram pages stay the same, no modifications to the code and functions.
