Download InsightSocial v4.8.0 for Chrome
InsightSocial is a free Chrome extension that exports social media posts, comments, profiles and reviews to Excel, CSV or Google Sheets. Most people should install it from the Chrome Web Store, which keeps it updated. This page has the same extension as a .zip, for when the store is blocked at work or you want a release before the store approves it.
Why direct download? Chrome Web Store reviews take 1-7 days. Get new features immediately.

FAQ
Is the direct download safe?
Yes. It's the same build we submit to the Chrome Web Store, sometimes a few days before the store approves it.
Will I get automatic updates?
No. Chrome does not update an extension you loaded yourself. Check this page or the What's New panel for a newer version, or switch to the Chrome Web Store version, which updates itself.
Can I switch to Chrome Web Store version later?
Yes. Remove the unpacked copy, install from the store and sign in again. Your results are saved in your InsightSocial account, so nothing you collected is lost.
Why Developer Mode?
Chrome requires it for extensions outside the Web Store. Standard practice for pre-release versions.
