    Okay, sure. Are you saying the feature was actually removed entirely? The article makes it sound like it is just disabled by default now, but still exists.

      From their release notes page regarding this feature. Use chatgpt next time something please or pay me

      • The imgur uploader is disabled by default at compile time. Users that wish to re-enable this can build from source with -DENABLE_IMGUR. We expect this to be a bit controversial but we believe this is the best direction for the project. [ℹ️]

        • The goal for Flameshot is to be a lightweight screenshot / annotation program. The imgur uploader is a program in its own right
        • The authors of Flameshot are increasingly privacy conscious. Having a misclick in a screenshot program accidentally upload sensitive data feels very risky.
        • We continue to discuss and iterate ideas for a plugin system [ℹ️]. When that is completed users who wish to have an uploader right in their screenshot program can implement this in a plugin
        • We will keep the imgur uploader code in the code base until plugins are ready
        • Please let us know your thoughts either way. This is not a vote, but we are interested in the communities opinion.
