That's an imgur.com link mate, it's a rather well known image host. I don't run it. I'm surprised you're not aware of it.

Let me give you the full text of the message I got:

> 406 Not Acceptable

> Your browser is not supported. Please update your browser to continue.

My browser is fine, it's built off Chromium like many are, but apparently the UA makes your website say no. Your website should stop doing that, it's pointless.

> Less hate would be good too

My apologies, but I'm rather sick and tired of websites that impose arbitrary restrictions because I'm not using official Google Chrome.

There's absolutely no reason to do UA filtering in 2026.

And using a 406 response incorrectly and ostentatiously so, triggers my nerd rage. Read the RFC about what 406 means. It does not mean what you're using it for.

And I definitely do not need to update my browser.

I'm not sure why you thought it necessary to filter on UAs, but come on, it's the 2020s, it's not like the bad old days of "only renders in IE5 or Netscape 2.0".

If I have to fake my UA to read your webpage, that's just useless friction that negatively impacts your reach. I don't understand why you'd do this.

Just so you know, Imgur the public image host is what bans certain regions for whatever reason, it's not the uploader's fault and they likely didn't even know you wouldn't be able to view that link.
