We all know the record of bad practices that Meta has done against user’s privacy. Regardless of that, Instagram still is one of the largest social media in the world. This makes it imposible to not have to check Instagram sometimes, but it can be hard to use Instagram when the website is filled with sign-up banners everywhere, is tracking all your activity and wants you to install the official app. This is where Proxigram comes in.

There are other Instagram viewers out there, but some of them can be a little tricky to use since most of them have ads, need JavaScript or are full of captchas and trackers. Proxigram does the job for you and goes to these services, parses the data, and gives it back to you.

Using an instance of Proxigram, you can browse Instagram without JavaScript while retaining your privacy with all the requests going through the server. The client never talks to Instagram or other service providers (unless it is specified).
