OP note that the link you are using is "amp" which is part of the Google ad network.
You can remove amp. And link will work with less Google tracking.
It's weird because I thought it was abandoned by Google some time ago. https://plausible.io/blog/google-amp says it was deprecated in 2021 but still available. What a POS that was.
