Script to unfollow people in the instagram website
/**
* 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.
