Thanks... The fact that websites are now blocking Firefox by default as an "ad-blocker" is saddening.

I pasted the URL into firefox, and didn't see that huge "you're using an adblocker popup".

I opened a firefox private window and navigated to it from the HN page, and got the adblocker popup.

Right now I have two tabs open in the same non-private window, one showing the adblocker popup and one not. In the one that's not I can view the whole page. Reloading in the one that is not showing the adblocker popup then showed it.

I navigated from HN in a non-private window and got the popup. So this seems to be referer constrained in some sense, not necessarily browser based. Hard to confirm.

I do everything in private by default, so I clicked on the link from a private HN tab and did not get the popup on firefox mobile.

I followed the link with an ad-blocker enabled and saw nothing.

For me it works just fine (with ublock origin enabled).

May be an a-b test?

Interesting, I just clicked the link (in FF on Android with ad blocking) and it loaded fine, without adverts or popups.

Same here.

FF 142.0 with uBlock Origin works fine.
