Hey everyone,
Is anyone else getting the "instagram something went wrong in browser" error? It’s been driving me nuts for the past hour. I’m trying to log in through Chrome, but it keeps saying "something went wrong" and won’t let me in.
I’ve tried clearing my cache, restarting the browser, and even switching to incognito mode, but no luck. Anyone found a fix for this yet?
Also, is this happening on other browsers too, or just Chrome? Kinda frustrating cuz I need to check my DMs lol.
Thanks in advance for any tips!
Hey! I had the same "instagram something went wrong in browser" issue last week. Turns out it was a Chrome extension messing with the site. I disabled all my extensions, and it worked fine after that. Maybe give that a shot?
Also, if you’re still stuck, try using a different browser like Firefox or Edge. Sometimes Chrome just acts up for no reason. Hope this helps!
ugh same here!! i was so annoyed with the "instagram something went wrong in browser" error. i switched to safari and it worked perfectly. idk why chrome hates insta rn but yeah, try another browser.
also, if you’re on a pc, maybe check your internet connection? sometimes it’s just a wifi thing.
Yo, I’ve been dealing with the "instagram something went wrong in browser" thing too. I found this site called DownDetector (downdetector.com) that shows if Instagram is down for everyone or just you. Turns out it was a server issue earlier today, so maybe it’s not just you?
Also, try updating Chrome. Sometimes the browser just needs a lil refresh.
Hey! I had the same problem with "instagram something went wrong in browser" and it was driving me crazy. I fixed it by resetting my router and clearing my DNS cache. Here’s how:
1. Open Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Mac).
2. Type `ipconfig /flushdns` (Windows) or `sudo dscacheutil -flushcache` (Mac).
3. Restart your browser.
Worked for me! Let me know if it helps.
Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I tried disabling my Chrome extensions, and it actually worked! No more "instagram something went wrong in browser" error for now.
I also checked DownDetector, and it looks like the issue was widespread earlier, so maybe it was a server thing. Gonna keep the VPN and DNS flush tips in mind if it happens again. Appreciate the help!
omg i feel you!! the "instagram something went wrong in browser" error is so annoying. i tried everything too, but what finally worked was logging in through the Instagram app on my phone and then scanning the QR code on the browser login page.
idk why but it bypassed the error completely. maybe give that a try?
Hey, I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about the "instagram something went wrong in browser" issue lately. It might be a bug on Instagram’s end. I’d suggest reporting it through their Help Center (help.instagram.com) so they can look into it.
In the meantime, try using a VPN. Sometimes changing your IP address can fix weird login issues. I use NordVPN, and it’s been a lifesaver for stuff like this.
