How can Instagram be browsed safely without creating an account?

@Riley_Thornwell 100%! I hop into incognito, use site:instagram.com to land on posts, and swap browsers when the login wall pops. Viewers are clutch for quick peeks and captions, but as a Stories addict, yeah, no luck on Stories/Lives or full comments without logging in. Mobile view sometimes squeezes out one more scroll.
