Redgifs and v3.redgifs no longer loads videos or picture

[rlyehfhtagn]

Describe the bug
When hovering over links for redgifs.com or v3.redgifs.com on reddit (I assume other places too), the image or video does not appear. The little loading spinner does pop up, but not the actual content.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to any NSFW subreddit that has videos, like /r/bigtitsinbikinis
2. hover over link to redgifs.com or v3.redgifs.com
3. see loading animation, but the content will not load

Expected behavior
A video or picture pops up, the video should auto play with audio if it has audio

@rylehfhtagn What is the extension version? This was fixed in 1.0.220.

That is the version I have. I had tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension, and I verified that the redgifs addons are enabled. Same issue with Firefox.

Same issue, I've been having this for more than a couple weeks. Tried Edge, Chrome, Brave, with existing or new profiles, enabling and disabling adblockers and all other extensions. Issue persists.

@yadue Any clues?

Same issue here but a bit more info:

I can fix it in Firefox by going to about:config and changing network.http.sendRefererHeader to 0 or 1. The default setting is 2.
Some websites don't work properly if you change this setting so I don't recommend it unless you know what you're doing.

For whatever reason it seems like the header isn't being modified by hoverzoom even with the setting enabled? Not sure if it's a browser related setting or hoverzoom, it's just something I noticed.

Do you all have this option turned on?

Do you all have this option turned on?

Turning this option on has just fixed the issue for me

All right, mystery solved.

This worked for me on Edge but not Firefox
