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.

FF 142.0 with uBlock Origin works fine.

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

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

Same here.

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

May be an a-b test?
