Tor Browser provides industrial-strength anonymity, but it has trade-offs for Instagram viewing. Here's the setup, the gotchas, and simpler alternatives that work for most users.
Simpler than Tor - works in regular browser. Free to test. No card required.

Triple-encryption and random routing add latency. Plus Instagram CDN images are heavy. Expect 5-10 second loads instead of sub-second. Trade speed for anonymity.
