sometimes cobalt works with downloading from instagram and sometimes it doesn’t, I can’t tell if there’s any difference between the ones that work or not. other instagram-specific downloaders (e.g snapinsta.app) have no problems with the same posts.

error 2:
(also you should capitalize the "i" but that’s not as much of an issue lol)
happens on both ios 17 safari and win10 chrome, I think it’s a problem with the site and not the browser

Still happens regularly even with the new version of Cobalt. e.g.

(Download possible with https://snapinsta.app, so I think the issue depends on cobalt)
