It's too much of a hassle with NoScript too. At least 12 domains trying to run js and allowing just imgur still doesn't load the image. Ridiculous that you even need js to view an image anyway.

On a laptop/PC you could give the rimgo[0] frontend a try for simple viewing, no uploading or interacting. It's by no means perfect but works really well in addition with the LibRedirect[1] browser extension.

Rimgo is basically a frontend for imgur that you can selfhost (or use a public instance). The LibRedirect browser extension automatically replaces the imgur.com URL with the specified rimgo instance.

So for example https://imgur.com/gallery/eMKxD6t turns into https://rimgo.pussthecat.org/gallery/eMKxD6t.
