Cause he redirects based on referrer to https://cdn.jwz.org/images/2016/hn.png https://cdn.jwz.org/images/2016/hn.png

  I did not get redirected--would that be because I'm using Brave? Or because I'm on mobile?
  • smnrchrds 6y ago
    The former. Brave has explained their referer policy here: https://brave.com/privacy-updates-5/ https://brave.com/privacy-updates-5/ > When navigating to a new site, never send a referer header. JWZ wouldn't know you are visiting from HN if you use Brave.

      Or Safari, apparently.

      What's the reason behind JWZ doing that anyways?
      • Alvarito050506 6y ago
        Because sometimes he behaves like what's in the image.

          Strange to refer to brogrammers and to do this. Pot, kettle, black.

      Weird. Just tested this, Brave on PC redirected to the image but not on Brave mobile

    Also, if you're using a Hacker News app, it won't send a Referer header when opening an article unless the app authors went out of their way to implement that. I would be surprised if any did.
