Inconsistent Imgur Link behavior #12

Description

I'm not sure what exactly triggers it, but when opening the direct imgur URL from the readme https://i.imgur.com/kNhGrN3.png Imgur will often redirect do the gallery page for the image instead: https://imgur.com/kNhGrN3
image

The img displayed on this page is no longer the original png, but instead a webp:
image
https://i.imgur.com/kNhGrN3_d.webp?maxwidth=760&fidelity=grand which breaks the encryption.

When the redirect occurs it happens for both clicking the direct link or manually pasting the direct link into the address bar. However after it occurring several times in a row (which prompted me to creating this issue) it now does not happen, and I can open the direct link without issue

I've observed this inconsistent behavior previously with my own images, especially when attempting to open a direct link on mobile. I'm not sure if there is a consistent way to avoid this, so I'd potentially recommend not listing imgur as supported, as when it does this the image displayed to the user will not work.

I'm using Chrome Version 94.0.4606.71 for Windows 10
