I hate how they've broken their site completely if one browses with JavaScript off (which I suspect was a deliberate choice to force people to accept being tracked and exploited). imgurl is definitely not a site I trust to run just any JavaScript or ad.

- bduerst 11y agoThat's because Imgur let people upload and serve HTML files from their servers, and not related to js requirements. They don't do this anymore.
- ikeboy 11y agoThat means at one point, their security model did not prevent malicious javascript. They may have stopped allowing it, but why trust that they've changed their model? It's not like they were audited or something, and they're known to have not cared about javascript security as recently as 6 months ago. I see no reason to trust them.
