It has to be the Google tag tracker.
Well at least the original issue no longer occurs.
But for real, I haven't seen this happen at all. No idea what causes it, not how to fix it.
I noticed today that Facebook links to outside websites will now sometimes crash using duckduckgo.
As the popularity of privacy grows I think big tech wants to try and break the internet if you don't play by their rules.

I am using a Samsung S9, but it does the same thing on Windows 10 with Chrome and letting DDG take over the browser.
Super annoying. It did not start until Pete allowed Google into his website.

So here is my reproducer. I spin up a new Windows VM in Amazon Web Services, start a fresh copy of either Firefox or Chrome (happens on both), install UblockOrigin and LastPass, then head to New posts
The login window pops up, I log in, the new posts display, and then after a second the page redirects to a blank page with 2022 on it.

Apologies, it is not a redirect. I opened it up in the Chrome developer tools to inspect the element. Some asynchronous thread is replacing the entire <body> of the page with the text "2022" (no elements or styles, just that text), and an <object>. The object is, hilariously, a link to "Get Microsoft Silverlight", which for those of you who have not been following Microsoft's ill-fated Flash replacement, went end-of-life this past October.
You can also see in this screenshot which scripts uBlock Origin is not loading. I also confirmed that if I log out and log back in, it doesn't happen again. So something is getting set on login that prevents it. Happy to do more digging if the web jockeys would like.

Three years straight. We now get the 2023 error. I think ScubaBoard may win the award for the longest bug streak in website history.
