Imgur created gifv because they wanted people to load their JavaScript wrapper every time they viewed it. A useless, bloated format that adds nothing for the end user. Last I checked, you can still optionally choose to embed the original gif in Imgur links.
Edit: swapped to a catbox link, if it helps.
FYI, gifv files don’t embed. Please drill down and find the original gif address.
Fuggin Imgur…
It’s a tumblr source, which generally shows up for me on Connect and browsers.
I’m using Voyager, I’ll pass that info along.

Just need to change the URL at the end from .gifv to .gif
