I heard that it can be blocked using ublock origin and then I can scroll infinitely without needing to login ? Can someone confirm and share the steps.

Edit: People trying to find a solution. Unfortunately it can’t be done. You have to login using an email.

    You have a lot to learn my man. Its not the email address I am concerned about. Its the IP, device identifiers and location. Meta doesnt care about the email at all apart from sending you emails for notification. Even with a fake email they exactly know who you are. Let’s say you visit CNN.com which has facebook tracker. Facebook has the IP and the device identifiers. Now you login with fake email account on Instagram, facebook knows that’s the IP ans the same device hence it “must” be the same person That’s how facebook creates shadow profiles.

      Yeah then use a VPN for your endpoint connection, route your traffic through a self hosted proxy server and use that to mask hardware details. Then create a dummy account, boom.

      Btw they get your IP, Device details and location just from you even opening the instagram link on your phone whether you sign in or not.

      I mean if you care that much about privacy just don’t even connect to any of Facebook’s DNS servers in the first place, or if you’re that thirsty set it up properly or stop caring.
