Discord's solution to previewing images is awful so by changing 'media.discordapp.net'
links to 'cdn.discordapp.com' links, we will no longer have blurry images (especially with JPEG, WebP and other lossy formats).
Another feature of this plugin is that it makes animated PNGs uploaded to the Discord server playable within the client.
Discord has broken APNG support completely when they addressed the 'aCropalypse' vulnerbility.
This is compatible with BetterDiscord as a plugin and/or can be executed in the console of the client/browser.
| Image format: | Before fix: | After fix: |

To see the best comparison, open a before/after in a new tab and flip between the two (they are lined up for you).
Something to note with these comparisons is that unless open the image in a browser, you will never see the original, uncompressed image; it is always a lightly or heavily compressed (depends on the format) version of the original.
This means that if you click on the image, even though the quality is a bit better, it is still compressed and not what the person sent, this is most prevelant with JPEG and WebP-- hence the examples provided.
