What’s the best way, shelter (so work profile with officiale app) or dedicated browser without clear cookies (I’m using fennec as default, so wich other would be good choice?) I’m skipping foss app user case cause there’s not insta alternative. Thanks

      I’v tried this, but even if I save login credential (Insta) and save page as webapp in my launcher every time I open it I’v to insert again login credential (even if now are saved) and the webapp take a lot time to load. Using F-droid Webapps is my current solution (don’t know why but a lot faster) but sadly is no more mantained. In my Firefox (Fennec) setting I’v set to clear all data on exit, is this the reason why I’v to insert saved login credential every time?..there’s a way to avoid this without keeping all site/cookies and data stuff?

        No cookies means your login details won’t be saved

          ok so I suppose anonymous mode don’t keep track of any sie data,preference,cookies ecc…is this correct? Do you use this method? did you face any site issue in anon mode?

              ok, I’v tried with Mull (that’s still based on Firefox), and use a separate browser (feel more safe from user mistake) that keeps login,cookies data but still is very slow compared with Webapp…thinking if shelter app is better solution at this point.

        So, (assuming on mobile) you have selected to delete browser data on Firefox (fennec). Because of that and because there is no setting to white list the sites you’d like to keep cached, those sites load more slowly. You could try removing the one for cookies specifically and then manually erase them on a weekly basis but that’s more finicky. It may be better to use something like ublock origin to block cookies. You may be able to just whitelist the sites you want from there. Or switch browsers I suppose.

        When clearing Cookies and Site Data, under Manage Exceptions add the URLs of the web sites you want to keep data for, i.e. Allow.

          sorry but I’m not seeing this optional on Fennec, are you sure it is possible? (can you tell step by step where do that?)

            Meh, not available in Android versions :-/ You could disable deletion of cookies and site data, and use the Cookie AutoDelete Add-On to delete cookies and data (you’ll have to enable that once) and add sites you want to keep there in the whitelist while you are visiting them.

    Doesn’t really have anything to do with F-Droid tbh. To answer the question anyway for Insta at least. Take a look at the app “instander”

      Instander doesn’t work anymore as IG is forcing update since one specific build. If you want to use instander, you got to find the_dise telegram and dig a bit to find a beta version, but it’s buggy as hell. He’s planed to release an official version “in 2024”. No news since dec 23rd.

      Instander can your insta account revoked and then you have to do a verification step to regain access. Not sure if you can do that multiple times or if you’ll just loose your account

          I used it very briefly and very soon after using it got locked out of my account with a message saying my account would be deleted or removed or something to that affect for using third party means to access Instagram. And the option to appeal required taking a pic of my face with my Instagram name written on a piece of paper held up in frame

          I hope you continue to be able to use it, I’m kinda bummed I had to stop :(
