If anyone wants an no frills way to redirect instagram to imginn (privacy alternative anonymous instagram viewer), this is much easier than setting up reverse proxies and in browser redirects, especially if you keep your bookmarks synced.
Save this code as the url of a new bookmark (bookmarklet) and name it something like "Insta Redirect":
```
javascript:(function(){var%20url=window.location.href;if(url.indexOf('instagram.com')!==-1){var%20newUrl=url.replace('instagram.com','imginn.com');newUrl=newUrl.replace(/[?&]hl=[^&]+/g,'');newUrl=newUrl.replace(/\?&/,'?').replace(/\?$/,'');window.location.href=newUrl;}})();
```
Whenever you land on an instagram page just select this new bookmark(let) and it will redirect you. So now you can view that restaurants menu without being asked to make an account -- until all these businesses get off Meta apps. -_-

Additionally, here's one for x/twitter links to redirect to xcancel.com (x/twitter privacy alternative):
```
javascript:(function(){ const url = window.location.href; const newUrl = url.replace(/(x\.com|twitter\.com)/, "xcancel.com"); window.location.href = newUrl; })();
```
