I get a 401 error with that link, but when I visit it from a search engine it's fine. I think they may have blocked referrals from HN, so if you see that message, try copying-and-pasting the URL into a new tab / window / incognito window. I read this a while ago, and as other say, it's worth it.

I use Smart Referer to disable this, but the extension appears to be unmaintained: https://gitlab.com/smart-referrer/smart-referer https://gitlab.com/smart-referrer/smart-referer https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/smart-referer/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/smart-referer... Anyone know of a reputable replacement?
