A Chrome extension that allows the user to grab a screenshot of the current tab or selected area and upload it to imgur anonymously.
- Install github repo locally.
- Open Chrome and type in
chrome://extensionsin the address bar. This opens the Chrome extentions page. - Click 'Development Mode'
- Click 'Load unpacked extension...'
- Locate the installed 'imgrab' folder.
- Refresh all Chrome Tabs.
- Click the extension icon.
- A popup should appear with two buttons: screen or snippet. Click either one to:
- screen: get full tab screenshot.
- snippet: select an area of screen to screenshot.
After grabbing the image, it automatically sends a POST request to Imgur including the image. The extension icon changes style depending on the response of the POST request. If the POST request was successful then the new imgur link will be opened in a new tab.
Although this extension allows you to post images to Imgur anynomously, it is important to note that no image uploaded to Imgur is ever completely hidden from public view. Every image uploaded to Imgur has it's own direct URL.
"Unless the post is shared publicly with the community, search engines will not be able to see the content, and therefore the content is not searchable by other people." Source
