Hello, guys. Thanks a lot for a great tool!
Just a small concern - extension makes connections to GitHub servers, I guess to update lists of instances.
Can you please add a checkbox to disable update checking (and other internet connections addon makes if any exist)?

Only OSM redirection uses external internet requests: https://github.com/libredirect/libredirect/blob/master/Privacy-Policy.md

And about the settings, the instances aren't stored in the local storage, they are fetched everytime for the most up to date ones. How do you want to know new instances with it disabled?

Well, no way to know new instances, it's obvious.
If someone will need to update their local instances list ofc he shouldn't tick this (new) checkbox. IMHO to have old instances list is better then connections to Microsoft servers

Then I will add an option to not view public instances.
