Best modded instagram app for Android? (lemmy.cafe)

Hi, I've been using Instander for some time, but even the early beta is outdated by now, and doesn't work correctly. Does anyone have any recommendations on good Instagram mods? I know about AeroInsta, Honista, MyInsta and few others, but not sure which are safe.

PS: please tell me if this isn't the right community for this question, I'm not sure but it seems like the best one PPS: I know precisely how bad instagram is, and I still want/need to use it, so please don't waste your time telling me that.

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)
