A few of you may have discovered today that thumbnails suddenly stopped loading in Firefox. I did.
Checking the browser console, I found errors for each thumbnail in the catalog which said "A resource is blocked by OpaqueResponseBlocking, please check browser console for details."
After disabling browser.opaqueResponseBlocking in about:config, those error messages turned into 403's and the images would still not load.
I did a desuarchive search for Firefox and found a post in /trash/ saying "I figured it out. 4chan is now asking for referrers when requesting images from 4cdn... TL:DR; 4chan wants to know where you were before loading an image." along with a screenshot of all about:config settings with the word "referer" in them.
With the help of that screenshot, I pinpointed the issue to network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy in about:config, which I had set to 2 for whatever reason, I don't know. Setting it to 0 fixed the problem.
Most of you on Firefox probably won't experience this since 0 is the default setting.
So, for those of you also experiencing this issue, there's the fix, and now the fix is on desuarchive for others to find.
Feel free to discuss the technological/privacy ramifications of this change by 4chan, or if the /trash/ poster's analysis is correct.

Thanks for the tip.

Fixed it for me. Thanks OP and merry christmas.

I thought it was pedo proxy acting up. Seems to have resolved on it's own.

2 = only send referrer if current subdomain and domain matches destination
1 = only send referrer if current domain matches destination
0 = always send referrer

Thank you /g/. Was having this issue myself. You guys are okay.

To anyone that was using Imagus and Simple Modify Headers. Delete the 4chan rule in BAKA. I was having the issue on Brave.

Thanks for the heads up.
So it looks like this issue of thumbnails not loading can also occur in Chrome or Chromium-based browsers such as Brave, depending upon extension use.
Making this post mainly so there's a post with the words, thumbnails, Chrome, Chromium and Brave in Desuarchive.

Don't just let any faggot know where you're coming from, install referrer spoofer addon like this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/referrer-switch/
Whoever let referrer header become a standard is a big fat FAGGOT.
