Launch: Imgpls - Gibberish and Stuff

I wrote this app to fix a personal annoyance. You probably don’t need it.

A side-by-side comparison of a smartphone displaying an Imgur webpage. The left side shows a cartoon character partially obscured and a prompt to open the Imgur app, labeled "BEFORE." The right side features the full view of the character, labeled "AFTER."

I’m not an Imgur user. But in my day-to-day browsing, I sometimes encounter a wild Imgur link. And when I click that link, it takes me to the Imgur website, and the logo loads. Then the app banner thing on top loads. Then I see the popup that asks me to download the Imgur app. Then I have to dismiss the popup to see the image. Then when I try to zoom in, the website loads another image, for some reason.

With Imgpls, clicking links like i.imgur.com/fxBBsLx.gif loads the image directly.
