<p>
    A minimalist read-only Imgur proxy insipired by software like <a href="https://invidio.us/">Invidious</a>, <a href="https://nitter.net/">Nitter</a>, and <a href="https://bibliogram.art/">Bibliogram</a>. <wbr>
    This service does not use the official Imgur API because I reject the notion that a standard HTTP GET isn't a valid way to access a public website.
</p>
<p>
    This project was started because <a href="https://chaoswebs.net/">Kevin Froman</a> got fed up with Imgur breaking with Tor because of JS bloat (especially on Tor Browser).
