posted 2 months 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, 2 months agoWorks as advertised, but pollutes dev console a little, and scans the entire document on every mutation.

posted 2 months 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 IcanLevitate, 3 months agoUsing this to bypass the UK embed block, works a treat.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Altirix, 4 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 3 months 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 Developer response
