Gatsby: Gatsby Starter does not pull images from Unsplash

[hhimanshu]

Description

I am following https://www.gatsbyjs.org/tutorial/part-one/ and on #4, there is the following code

import React from "react"
export default () => (
  <div style={{ color: `purple` }}>
    <h1>Hello Gatsby!</h1>
    <p>What a world.</p>
    <img src="https://source.unsplash.com/random/400x200" alt="" />
  </div>
)

Useful Links:

• Documentation: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/tutorial/part-one/

Steps to reproduce

gatsby new hello-world https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-hello-world
gatsby develop

Replace the code in src/pages/index.js with following

import React from "react"

export default () => (
  <div style={{ color: `purple` }}>
    <h1>Hello Gatsby!</h1>
    <p>What a world.</p>
    <img src="https://source.unsplash.com/random/400x200" alt="" />
  </div>
)

Expected result

The image should show up

Actual result

The image doesn't show up
You get the following error

source.unsplash.com/random/400x200:1 GET https://source.unsplash.com/random/400x200 net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT

While, the URL works well independently, it does not work with Gatsby project

Most of the time as far as I know the error ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT means that something local (like an extension) is blocking something. have you tried this with no extensions activated?

@SimonMayerhofer, that was a fast reply 💯
you're right, when I ran it in incognito window on Chrome, things seemed fine. Thanks for educating me!

Closing this issue!
