@GeetaSarvadnya if you turn off Shields, does it render?

I had a similar issue on Linux, also 1.27.87:

Shields up	Shields down

/cc @spylogsster

This seems to be a variant of #13641 however here we are on a trusted API port (45004) that tries to fetch the image from the trusted Gateway port (45083).

This is a pretty safe environment, as both Origins are controlled by Brave (brave runs go-ipfs binary, which exposes those ports)

I think the right way of fixing this class of bugs is to allow API port to fetch data from local Gateway.

@stephendonner with Shields ON/OFF I am getting the same issue.

This is the same issue as #16752 (comment)
(Due to fallback the preview image is being fetched from ipfs.io instead of local gateway.)

The fix here is to wait until we have go-ipfs 0.9.1 with bugfix release of webui: ipfs/kubo#8243

@GeetaSarvadnya mind retesting with go-ipfs version 0.9.1 now that it's out using --use-dev-goupdater-url?

This worked for me using

Brave	1.30.15 Chromium: 92.0.4515.131 (Official Build) nightly (x86_64)
Revision	6b8d6c56ce21e38a72f7c4becb5abc1fa5134f29-refs/branch-heads/4515@{#1933}
OS	macOS Version 11.5.2 (Build 20G95)

Verified on Linux as well. Imported images for PNG/JPG/JPEG/GIF all show and can be loaded as well

@stephendonner Apologies somehow missed the issue. Today I have verified the issue on Windows 10 x64 - 1.28.106 build issue is fixed and working fine with ipfs component 0.9.1
