Browse Instagram without logging in about adfilt HOT 7 CLOSED

Instagram is a rather heavy mess to handle, since they use a Facebook-like method to show a hard login prompt after approx. 7 page visits. I'll see if my rather worsening health can look into it later this week.

Does this work?

instagram.com##[style^="position: fixed;"][style$="pointer-events: none; contain: strict; z-index: -9999;"] + [style^="--fds-black: #000000;"]

I tried your filter and it still showed prompts after scrolling a bit to show more content (on e.g. https://www.instagram.com/pepsi/ ) - I used Firefox Android 118.1.0

Your health is most important, I am not in very good condition either. Wish you the best and have rest.

After opening this issue I noticed that after browsing for a little while refreshing the page to get another go without a login prompt until scrolling shows it again and I started getting errors from the Instagram frontend as if I got rate limited or blocked and I could not get any content more than I was given on first page load by scrolling. Though on Instagram web the only way you can discover post links is by scrolling through stuff so it kinda just locks you out of most content.

It made me question whether bypassing this prompt was worth it since Instagram still seems to rate limit/block pretty quickly if you don't log in anyway.

instagram.com##div:matches-css(background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.65))

Should be more consistent but it will flash quickly

I'm unsure if I've asked about this before or not, but was a consensus ever agreed on for a fix for this thread/OP? 😅

I'll assume 'no' then, unfortunately.

Hello, sorry I have gotten no notification of your message, well the problem is that the Instagram API rate limits you if you bypass the prompt, so it's pointless to try and bypass it.
