Viewing Imgur images in the UK

[FatCatTuxedo]

You can use the following chromium extension to view imgur images in the UK, this will fix screenshot threads and the lsgov sites: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/fatcattuxedos-imgur-proxy/fnkhjpoobklnfpppblkjkdneffldndoo

Okay this actually goated. This needs pinning for all UK users tbh

That's awesome. Thanks for making it. I made a whole screenshot uploader (https://roulston.dev/media/) because of the imgur block. Unfortunately most of the time I use Safari as I'm mostly on my MacBook, but I'll install the extension on my actual PC.

Open source, good man. 

 

For anyone wondering if this is going to hack your PC: 

 

I’ve looked through the repo, and this extension uses Chrome’s declarativeNetRequest rules to catch i.imgur.com requests and rewrite them to proxy.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=... instead of loading them from Imgur directly, bypassing the UK ban. Hooray.

 

There's nothing sinister in it at all.
