User reviews

Originally a powerful and convenient Imgur extension beloved by many, users increasingly report it no longer works. Common issues include failing to upload or rehost images due to API rate limits, inability to log into accounts, and problems deleting images. Multiple users describe repeated errors like "daily client requests exceeded". Although some users share solutions like reinstalling an older version, the extension is widely deemed broken or unreliable as of recent months.

Pros

Allows convenient screenshot capture and sharing when functional.
Loved and relied upon by some users for years when working properly.

Cons

Frequently fails to upload or rehost images, often not working at all.
Users encounter "daily client requests exceeded" or API rate-limit errors preventing use.
Unable to log into Imgur accounts through the extension, leading to infinite loading or errors.
Limited or no ability to delete images or albums through the extension.
Installation or updates can be confusing or problematic for some users.
