I’m scared. What… What else could it do than serve a png image?
I’m pretty sure that read it wraps the picture in some kind of picture viewer thing. I imagine it’s an effort to keep you on the site or track your activity better.
And their stupid website prevents you from zooming in on the image. Or they disabled right click on it in an attempt to stop you from saving the image. It really is pathetic
What website?
It’s a general complaint, not one website.
For the zoom issue, social media type ones. Not sure if it’s Reddit or Imgur. The frames and text content gets larger but the image stays the same size.
For the right click hijack, usually photography and stock sites
Shift + right click will get your traditional right click options back
Also F12 to open the developer panel, then check the “network” and “sources” tabs where you can see every single asset that is loaded (may need to refresh after opening the dev panel) and interact with them in a list
Exactly, and pretty much everyone knows this. Which is why them putting effort into preventing it is stupid

Of course
Didn’t know that, but those download protection things also have other tricks like a transparent image placed over the top.
