Aeroinsta I couldn't get installed, their website forces me to turn off my adblocker but I think it picked up Firefox's tracker blocking
Honista I couldn't log in, it forced me to turn off my VPN ad blocking (DuckDuckGo blocking trackers)
I wouldn't trust either with the ad-free experience
MyInsta is simply just the Instagram site on mobile. I do get Instagram's first party ads, still
If memory serves me well, Barinsta used to be good, now I can't get it to log in, anymore
MyInsta is not just the website. It's a mod just like the others. https://myinsta.app The developer claims to not obfuscate his additional code, which seems nice, but I didn't check that.
I never checked the website's functionality, but the app just serves me something that looks 1:1 like Insta's mobile site, plus Instagram's first party ads. I got the impression it was just an Electron browser with adblock pre-installed
That's really weird. I included the link just in case we were talking about different mods both named MyInsta. For me, MyInsta is a normal mod of Instgram's android app, very similar to Instander or Aeroinsta (and probably others, I haven't tried them)
