Describe the bug Unable to refer images from imgur, url returns 403 because of the referrer included in the headers

Screenshots

I don't think this is a bug of standardnotes. This request is initiated by your browser to the imgur servers directly and not through the standardnotes server.

There is nothing we can do if imgur is filtering requests based on the referer. You will probably need to setup some kind of server side proxy that would do the request instead of you (this is not part of standardnotes obviously). You will need to request this image indirectly.

FYI the screenshots were taken from Standardnotes macOS client.

That is probably a pwa or chrome bundled based on the screenshots, so you would face the same issue as I described sadly😕

Does that mean I should be redirect this issue to webApp repo?

I don't think so, as I've already mentioned that, we as in you or me or standardnotes can't change Imgur's referrer filtering setup.

Maybe you could fake the domain from where the Webapp runs on so it is not 127.0.0.1 in the referer or just selfhost the Webapp on a regular domain then it would most likely load the picture.
