Feature request: always prioritize i.redd.it

[Tiagoquix]

Hi there.

Even with the option Redirect preview images to the original image URL (i.redd.it) if possible enabled, sometimes Reddit opens the image in the "preview.redd.it" link instead of "i.redd.it". Reloading the page makes it redirect to "i.redd.it" normally. I would like to request a feature so when it detects it's in a "preview.redd.it" page it automatically forces a reload, therefore correctly going to "i.redd.it".

Thanks for your attention.

Also, not sure if this is related, but, what about giving "clear" URLs?

Example:

Instead of

https://i.redd.it/image.jpg?width=VALUE&crop=VALUE&auto=VALUE&s=VALUE

we just go to

https://i.redd.it/image.jpg

Not sure if this would reduce image quality, but I believe it wouldn't. It may even increase image quality, since we're requesting directly, without modifications, from source.

Hi @Tiagoquix!

Could you send me an example URL where this happens? I have not encountered this behavior yet. I assume it is similar to #14?

That's a good idea, I've implemented this in e12a0dd.

Yes, this is same problem as #14. :p I had forgotten I reported this in the past.

Sometimes it happens when clicking the image in the lightbox; instead of going to i.redd.it, it goes to preview.redd.it. Not sure how to reproduce, because this does not happen 100% of the time.

About clear URLs: thanks for implementing it!

I will close this as completed since #14 exists.
