ClickTheUnclickable accidentally unlocked Instagram bio links — and people are using it in wild ways

by

I built ClickTheUnclickable to break fake buttons and dark patterns on websites.

But something unexpected happened.

People started using it on Instagram profiles to make “dead” bio links actually clickable again — even when they were styled to look disabled or blocked.

That wasn’t the original goal, but it revealed something bigger:
a lot of the web today is intentionally designed to limit where users can go.

ClickTheUnclickable runs 100% client-side, with zero tracking, and simply restores what the interface is pretending to hide.

I’m curious:
– what weird or broken things have you seen on the web that should be clickable but aren’t?
– does this feel like a productivity tool, a creator tool, or something else?

You can try it here:

If you find something interesting it unlocks, tell me. I want to map the hidden web.

I tested it on a landing page with a fake “Sign up” button that was visually enabled but technically blocked.
ClickTheUnclickable made it real
