Load Reddit Images Directly by nopperl

Loads reddit images directly instead of redirecting to the HTML page containing the image. This works for <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/81e40807248441ca24f789047ae28a7a8266f8ad344ea6f4977e4473d60d20e5/http%3A//i.redd.it" rel="nofollow">i.redd.it</a>, <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/8e73e8b6575335896f295209eb7b291999654798ffcb596097c6a3cafd045683/http%3A//preview.redd.it" rel="nofollow">preview.redd.it</a>, <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/7e63b0cb427894e946e7065c2badea35dadb397a6a87745849d72f65a9cad794/http%3A//external-preview.redd.it" rel="nofollow">external-preview.redd.it</a> and <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/5b712eb108fa1803f12422942e6674a8d67e9e8b02d20ccfcce6cf2cb33c934d/http%3A//www.reddit.com/media" rel="nofollow">www.reddit.com/media</a> urls.

About this extension

Loads reddit images directly instead of redirecting to the HTML page containing the image. This works for i.redd.it, preview.redd.it and external-preview.redd.it urls. Additionally, requests to www.reddit.com/media?url=$IMAGE_URL (i.e., the before-mentioned HTML page) are automatically redirected to $IMAGE_URL (i.e., the direct image url).

Note: a redirect to the original (high-res) image URL (the i.redd.it URL) can be preferred over the preview URLs by changing the extension setting.

The source code and issue board is at https://github.com/nopperl/load-reddit-images-directly.
