Instagram offers limited functionality when accessed via a web browser. However, some users have reported the Instagram not working on Google Chrome issue when trying to access the home or posts.

This issue can occur due to several reasons. You may have bad browser cache and data that need to be cleared. In other cases, it could be due to a third-party software conflict.

1. Launch Google Chrome.
2. Press the Ctrl + Shift + N key to open a new Incognito Tab.
3. Visit the Instagram home page and check if you are able to load and use the page.

If the Instagram page opens and works in Incognito mode, the issue could be due to third-party extensions.

Disable Google Chrome extensions

2. Click on More (three dots).
3. Go to More Tools > Extensions.
4. Look for any recently installed extensions such as an ad-blocker, etc.
