Using image generation website fails using chromium & related browers

I use www.imgflip.com from time to time to make a meme.

Recently, the created images are solid black, when viewed in popup for downloading, downloaded or saved on the site. This failure occurs in chromium and chrome, and also Vivaldi. This occurs on chromium on a separate archlinux system I maintain.

Using imgflip site on Firefox and opera there is no failure, on Windows chrome there is no failure, and on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS chromium there is no failure.

The chromium version failing is chromium-64.0.3282.140-2-x86_64. Downgrading as far back as Jan 10 (chromium-63.0.3239.132-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz) does not fix the problem.

Apparently unique to Archlinux. All systems are fully updated.

Just in case, find all upgrades (from the separate, simpler archlinux system) logged at https://pastebin.com/Cay6fRVj

I find this odd and confusing
