@iLama reports: "Instagram doesn't load images into the page using an img tag. Instead they load it as a CSS background image, this method prevents the image from being directly selected/interacted with in browsers."

Unless a consistent method for finding the image can be figured out, so we can just go through the DOM to get the image, this functionality will need to happen through the Instagram API. This method shouldn't cause a problem for the browser extensions, but could be problematic to implement in the bookmarklet.

It should be possible to build a Safari App Extension, similar to what is needed for MacOS, to replace the need for the bookmarklet in Safari for iOS.
