    Just tried clicking that link, and got a huge pop up refusing me access to the site, and accusing me from being from a site called Hacker News (???).

    According to the text in the screenshot you’ve posted, there is no referrer header, so perhaps you’re using some privacy extension that strips referrers.

        Yeah, that’s not happening. I only whitelist sites I trust, and that little pop-up doesn’t engender trust.

          Fair enough.

          You can also open developer tools and just delete the message elements, but you’d have to still be interested in what they’re saying.

      Blocking access from everyone that wants to protect their privacy is not an acceptable policy.
