The only way I’ve worked out how to even save Instagram images locally is using the page information (ctrl+i) Media tab in Firefox and sort through it to find it there. Terrible for an image hosting website.
It’s not an image hosting site, it’s a social media site whose goal is to keep you coming back for more. The easier it is for you to save their content locally, the less likely you are to spend as much time on their site.
If you’re running Windows, though, you can use the Snipping Tool to grab the part of the screen you want to save, which may or may not have an image in it.
Try using Instagram without an account and no app, basically impossible.

And the fact that people flock there despite that is a way I feel more and more distant from humanity…

I prefer the PrintScr key on my keyboard, personally.
It’s doable if you open everything in new tabs. Still not a good experience though.
Good to know in a pinch! Luckily I never had to spend time there.
