imgrs
Imgrs is a free and open-source alternative Imgur front-end focused on privacy.
Inspired by the Invidious, Nitter, and Teddit projects.
- No JavaScript or ads
- All requests go through the backend, client never talks to Imgur
- Prevents Imgur from tracking your IP or JavaScript fingerprint
- Lightweight
- Self-hostable
This is a Rust rewrite of a previous Imgur proxy project, Omgur.
