posted 2 days agoThanks and sorry about that, unfortunately it only supports direct image URLs because the proxy doesn't really redirect HTML content. Just updated the description to mention that - Rated 4 out of 5by Tia, 9 days agoWorks as advertised, but pollutes dev console a little, and scans the entire document on every mutation.

posted 8 days agoThanks! And good point about the logs, I'll remove them in the next release.
Yes it's scanning the DOM for changes in src/href because I noticed that some pages insert images dynamically, mainly SPAs that aren't server side rendered. I'm currently looking into an alternative approach where I intercept outgoing HTTP requests to imgur.com in order to redirect to the duckduckgo proxy, though I'm still not sure if it's feasible with manifest v3 - Rated 5 out of 5by CodLiverOil, 24 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Altirix, 2 months agoworks well for UK block.
Edit: after a while i have now also got 404 errors from the proxy.
maybe imgur ends up rate limiting the proxy and is the one creating the blackhole?Developer response
posted 21 days agoThanks for the feedback and sorry for the delay, I was locked out of my account. Usually it's a 429 error, can you share an example of a 404 URL so that I can test it here?
Edit: so it turns out that the duckduckgo proxy only redirects direct images, unfortunately it doesn't support imgur albums. I should probably document this somewhere
