In your browsers do -

other png file type images ?

I'm not aware of what images might be hosted by imgur, either shown or blocked! What I did do just now was to try to open the imgur site, and both browsers block it, it is unsafe! Maybe there's the answer.
Not sure about other png images, how would I know?

Hi all,
thanks for your responses. I use FF (more strict blocking of tracking content etc.) and that's where I interact with this forum; and for others, e.g. non-https sites where I will not be logging in, I use Chromium (less strict blocking, though still blocks javascript by default).
I re-opened this page on Chromium, it said javascript was blocked, so I un-blocked for this page, but still no image. I allowed protected content, still no image.
All I can suggest is:
a) I have more secure browser environments which see reasons to block the content
or
b) I am missing something in the way I have things set up. Though I do normally use FF to read e.g. The Guardian and I'm used to blank spaces/content or ads blocked. That's the way I like it.
Another factor may be my use of plug-ins Privacy Badger, HTTPS Everywhere, and Disconnect.
Anyway, I am assuming Jerry's posted image is not vital for me, I can live without it. I'm curious of course!
