Thanks, I was wondering what in the world was up with that.

  This is what happens if you link to his website from HN. Arguably NSFW: https://www.jwz.org/blog/2021/01/i-told-you-so-2021-edition/ https://www.jwz.org/blog/2021/01/i-told-you-so-2021-edition/

    I Got the proper page?

      I found when using Firefox, it did take me to the proper page. When using Google chrome, was redirected to the landing page I was referring to. Which browser did you use? Testing it again in Firefox took me to the landing page. Maybe it doesn't redirect every single time.

        It works by detecting the HTTP Referer header. Under certain circumstances of privacy, Firefox strips the header. For example: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2018/01/31/preventing-data-leaks-by-stripping-path-information-in-http-referrers/ https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2018/01/31/preventing-data... It is plainly obvious why Google's browser might not want to do something like that.
