This behavior is caused by the "Privacy Redirect" addon, which is=
bundled with IceCat but can be easily disabled by visiting the
<about:addons> page.=C2=A0 It includes a built-in list of Nitter inst= ances to
redirect to, here:

=C2=A0 https://git.savann= ah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuzilla.git/tree/data/extensions/%7bb7f9d2cd-d772-4302-8c3= f-eb941af36f76%7d/assets/javascripts/remove-twitter-sw.js

Perhaps that list is now out-of-date and includes some URLs that are no
longer running Nitter.

I'm sorry that you consider it nefarious.=C2=A0 I can understand why yo= u feel
that way, but here's another point of view: it has become very common for news articles and other web pages to include embedded tweets.=C2=A0 Whe= n
you visit one of those pages with most web browsers, Twitter finds out
that you visited that page and gets to run its own Javascript code on
your web browser regardless of your wishes.=C2=A0 If you block that
Javascript code from running, you simply don't see the embedded tweets,=
which may make it hard to understand the article you're trying to read.=
Ditto for YouTube and Instagram and others.

Privacy Redirect is a tool to help address this issue.

If you disagree that Privacy Redirect should be included with IceCat,
feel free to start a discussion about it on our mailing lists.
gnuzilla-dev might be a good choice for such a discussion.

For the record, I was not actually the person who decided to add Privacy Redirect as a bundled addon to IceCat, so I'm not heavily invested in keeping it.=C2=A0 I'm sympathetic to the reasons for including it, but = I'm
also sympathetic to your position.=C2=A0 If you raise the issue, I pledge t= o
listen with an open mind.=C2=A0 I'd also like to hear from Rub=C3=A8n, = who added
this extension to IceCat in the first place.

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0Regards,

I doubt thar Icecat-102.9.0 from Fedora repos provides the "Privacy Redirect" addon because i removed it some time ago; probably, it's= a
refuse from older Icecat releases.
