No, I don’t think I will.

this is a Safari message to disable its advanced filtering protection, which can slow down sites.

The developer of StopTheMadness suggests to disable it completely in Safari settings:

    I will once again shill for Proxigram (not my project), the only? remaining FOSS instagram frontend. You can try it out on one of the public instances.

    I'm not entirely sure if it supports opening Instagram links though.

    I’m not so sure that’s an Instagram message and more an iOS thing. I’ve seen it before and I’ve never used Instagram. It happens on many sites.

    You should reduce yourself from Instagram

    That’s how you know the privacy protections are working. Meta won’t let you in if they can’t identify you well enough to sell your data.

    It's a transaction:

    Your privacy for access.

    Quiet part out loud.

    I think you should stop using Instagram.

    I think the privacy protection is fixing the issues.

    I think these privacy protections should not plain out block data from sites like Facebook and or instagram, they should just feed them bogus nonsense data.

    That is what the Ad Nauseum extension does: "AdNauseam works to complete the cycle by automating ad clicks universally and blindly on behalf of its users. Built atop uBlock Origin, AdNauseam quietly clicks on every blocked ad, registering a visit on ad networks' databases. As the collected data gathered shows an omnivorous click-stream, user tracking, targeting and surveillance become futile."

    It will resolve the issues Instagram has with successfully invading your privacy. It never said anything about resolving the issues viewing the page.
