    Strange browser behavior


    Hi all, a friend's instagram account is set to public, so it can be viewed from any device by just opening the link with a browser without the need for the viewer to have an Instagram account. In fact, I can access it from my tablet and mobile, and also from other PC's. But the issue is that with my PC, no matter what browser I use (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and I even clean installed Opera to try without any addons), when I try to go to the instagram address it does not display the website, instead it directs me to an Instagram login screen prompting me to enter username and password. Anyone with a clue as to why this is happening? Thanks

    Hello @antares,

    I have noticed that you have NOT had ANY replies, so I thought that I would try and help.

    I know NOTHING about Instagram, but I have a thought. If you sign into the account and then select Remember Me [ if that option exists ], do you have the same problem?

    I hope this helps.

    If you can sign in from mobile and tablet they will pass by default your gmail account to test login to gmail on one tab of the browser then try

    Thanks Paul and Samuria, I do not have an Instagram account, I was referring to viewing Instagram pictures just by browsing without signing in. Anyway, I was able to view the pictures by cleaning the browser's cache. Thanks.
