+1 for Firefox on Linux. Several other services (like Instagram) now also accuse me of being a bot every time I legitimately log in with Firefox on Linux.

Yeah with Instagram I wouldn't be surprised if they just do this to annoy to into using their app. Where they can force timed ads (you have to watch an ad now for a few seconds before it continues).

I noticed another platform (wallapop, a kind of ebay/craigslist here in Spain) that does the same. It never works well in a browser, even in chrome. I think they're just trying to bully their users to their app, which has 30+ trackers in it.
