Hi, I've been using Instander for some time, but even the early beta is outdated by now, and doesn't work correctly. Does anyone have any recommendations on good Instagram mods? I know about AeroInsta, Honista, MyInsta and few others, but not sure which are safe.
PS: please tell me if this isn't the right community for this question, I'm not sure but it seems like the best one
PPS: I know precisely how bad instagram is, and I still want/need to use it, so please don't waste your time telling me that.
I'm currently using Distraction Free Instagram which allowed me to disable the explore and reels tabs. Also appears to block ads. Sadly not open-source
I use myinsta. It's great for removing ads, etc. But there are some minor glitches (eg. repeatedly asking for contacts/location permissions) and it seems to take up more storage.
revanced manager has 12 patches for it, the ad blocking ones work at least. although I'm also running an ad block DNS, but I haven't tried any of the other features because the ad block is the only recommended one.
MyInsta is not just the website. It's a mod just like the others. https://myinsta.app
The developer claims to not obfuscate his additional code, which seems nice, but I didn't check that.
I never checked the website's functionality, but the app just serves me something that looks 1:1 like Insta's mobile site, plus Instagram's first party ads. I got the impression it was just an Electron browser with adblock pre-installed
I haven't used it in a while but Aeroinsta was good and probably safe (despite their shady website). Gets rid of unnecessary stuff like ads and allows downloading.
