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.

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.

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.
