Worked. Easy.

Thomas Baker, 2025-01-17

Works like a charm. Embedded gallery is still functional, left/right/click navigate and view the images as normal, within the post, with [X] to close the gallery. But right-click + open-image-in-new-tab finally actually opens the image without redirecting to reddit.com/media wrapper page. Perfect!
