We all know the record of bad practices that Meta has done against user’s privacy. Regartherless of that, Instagram still being one of the largest social media in the world, this makes it impossible 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. This is where Proxigram comes in.

There are others Instagram viewers out there, but some of them can be a little tricky to use since most of them have ads, needs JavaScript or are full of CAPTCHA and trackers. Proxigram does the job for you and goes to these services parse 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, client never talks to Instagram and other services providers.
