Blocks Imgur from redirecting direct links to an album page

Download

Features & Capabilities

The "Imgur direct link to album page redirect blocker" Chrome extension prevents Imgur's automatic redirection of direct image links to album pages. Normally, when accessing a direct link like https://i.imgur.com/examplelink.png, Imgur detects browser requests through the "Accept" header and redirects users to the album URL instead, such as https://imgur.com/examplelink.

This extension intercepts and modifies the HTTP request header by replacing the "Accept" header with "/". This tricks Imgur into serving the original media file directly without redirecting to the album page. Ideal for users who prefer to view or share direct Imgur image links without being forced to the album view, this tool ensures a smoother browsing experience by maintaining direct media access.
