Is Imgur Unblock (via imgup.uk) safe?

Clean risk

Imgur Unblock (via imgup.uk) rewrites Imgur URLs on pages and network requests through imgup.uk's proxy.

The extension runs on all pages and looks for Imgur images, videos, links, iframes, and background images, replacing matched URLs with imgup.uk proxy URLs. Its background script also redirects matching Imgur web requests to the same proxy, so the original Imgur URL is sent to imgup.uk when content is loaded.
