Yes, it should be flagged, or a moderator should change the link to the archive.today link given elsewhere in the HN comments. It was fine when it was submitted, but now it is broken. On Safari, every time I follow the link I get to the page the submitter intended--an interesting page, in English, about satellite tracking with not one hint of monetization (except a box with some weather information for the site's location and a link to the service providing that...it's possible that this counts as an ad). On Chrome, however, I see what 0x0 seems to be seeing: the front page of online.nl, which is in Dutch. They appear to be an ISP, phone, and TV provider and the front page is trying to sell various plans. I also see that on Safari if I hit refresh on the interesting satellite page. On Firefox, I get the same result as on Chrome. All of these are on a Mac. On Safari, I have AdBlock Plus, but I get the same behavior regardless of whether it is enabled or disabled or the site. Asking for the link submitted here with curl gives this: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-&#x2F;&#x2F;IETF&#x2F;&#x2F;DTD HTML 2.0&#x2F;&#x2F;EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <TITLE>302 Found<&#x2F;TITLE> <&#x2F;HEAD><BODY> <H1>Found<&#x2F;H1> The document has moved <A HREF="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.online.nl&#x2F;403">here<&#x2F;A>.<P> <&#x2F;BODY><&#x2F;HTML> I took a look with tcpdump at what is happening on Safari, and I see why I'm able to see the right page in Safari. It's cached, and the site is returning a "304 Not Modified". Clearing my cache makes Safari behave like the other browsers.
