Whoa, when I click on this link, it automatically closes the tab it resides in!

At first I thought this was an elaborate meta joke since not reading articles would save me thousands of hours, but I think it is a bug. I am using the latest google chrome with a very restrictive uMatrix that blocks pretty much all cross-site requests that are not images, and Ad-Block.

Weird, I'm using posthaven.com it is pretty useful as a blogging tool. Check if you can open it :)

Posthaven.com works without problems.

I tested some more. It closes/crashes the tab when I do not allow requests from facebook.com in frames in uMatrix. I didn't investigate further though, I'm tired from a long and busy day.
