I noticed the URL was updated for this post. Previously it linked to asahilinux.org which showed an anti-HN manifesto from the HN referral. Curious as I haven’t seen this before. Seems it has been covered by previous commenters: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36227103

How can the site even detect where a user is coming from? Browsers leaking this information seems like a huge privacy issue to me.

Referer (misspelled in the spec) has been a part of HTTP from day 1.

Feels crazy this isn’t disabled by default

This is part of the web DNA. Pages linking pages and being aware about it. Origin can still disable it.
