> Instagram only allows you to see a portion of a user's photos before forcing you to login. It does this on both mobile and browser.

For the curious, adblockers can get rid of the annoying pop-ups.

I just tried, and I can only use my adblocker to block the element that requests I login. My scrolling is still stopped, and I can't see anymore of a user's photos. Am I missing something?

I'm a Firefox desktop user.

I use all of uBlock origin's annoyance filters and it works for me.

IIRC there's an "overflow: hidden" style on <body> or something like that. Delete it and the site seems to work fine.

Scroll till you hit the modal, then ublock zapper it.

If you permablock it with the picker the scroller will break. They have something from the modal logic tied into the scrolling logic.

Add this to "My filters" in uBlock Origin

  www.instagram.com##body:style(overflow-y:auto!important; max-height:none!important; width:auto!important; position:static!important;)
