  So… wouldn’t I have to have an extra phone or device?

  I’m pretty certain that even if I were to delete insta on my phone and reinstall it, there’s going to be traces of my previous use? My identity?

    Not who you’re replying to, but definitely. I manage several Instagram accounts that aren’t my personal accounts and the algorithm feeds me things I’d expect in my personal while I’m in one of the others. One of them I’m only logged into so it’s not as much, but the other is attached to me more because I created it, I guess, and even though I’ve curated a much different following list, and do entirely different things on that account, it still shows me more personal things.

      Firefox has container tabs for this exact sort of things, whatever is inside is hermetically separated and cannot leak into other tabs, but It is desktop feature.
