That's interesting. I think I read about this website redirecting HN users before.

I can't trigger that redirect on Firefox or Chromium browsers, though. It seems HN puts a `noreferrer` on the link.

Doesn't work on my Firefox either. Brought me to the real site. I do have all privacy options on, and ublock Origin. So maybe something just deleted the referrer. Or it got deleted because it points to google (I have google container on).

The `rel="noreferrer"` attribute on the link instructs the browser to omit the Referer header on the request. So any browser that respects that option shouldn't be impacted by that code.

Nope, works here on FF.

If you click on the link directly you get to the real page, if you open it in a new tab you land on Google. At least on FF Mobile (Android)

It always opens in a new tab (Desktop) for me, which might be an extension’s doing.
