I see a lot of users complaining about problems regarding popups, malware and such from hosts like Imagebam, turbohostimage, Imgbox and now even Imx.to!
Seeing those reports pains me, because turboimagehost is one hell of a fast host to download the images for example.
I also use the V Ripper app or ImageHostGrabber to download the images, I don't open them one by one, usually just one to verify the image quality of the post.
Posting actual Hegres.art images below 50MP is a no-no, sir.
I really don't have a single problem with ALL OF them because I don't have to enter their pages and click to load the images.
How is it possible, do you ask? Simple, I use a script called Handy Image, available at github.
For the script to work I use Tampermonkey, but you can use Violentmonkey or your prefered app to run javascript scripts.
The script is avalable here: https://github.com/Owyn/HandyImage
It's not a scam or malicious script for those wondering, I use it for years.
After installing both Tampermonkey/Violentmonkey and the script, when you click a thumbnail in a topic, a new tab will open as usual and only the image hosted at the server will load, not the html page itself with adds, popups or alleged malware.
Give it a try.
Just a heads up: it works for every single big host out there, including Flickr and Deviant Art (DA).
It will load only the image, not the page with the various infos, like date, ratings, favorites, photographer info and etc.
If you wish to access those hosts with the full page available for whatever reason, simply disable the script.
Hope this helps those having problems with hosts.
