From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

According to the text in the screenshot you've posted, there is no referrer header, so perhaps you're using some privacy extension that strips referrers.
Looks like uBlock Origin triggers it. That's annoying, but whitelisting the site fixed it.
Yeah, that's not happening. I only whitelist sites I trust, and that little pop-up doesn't engender trust.
Fair enough.
You can also open developer tools and just delete the message elements, but you'd have to still be interested in what they're saying.
It pretty much screams "Don't trust!"
Blocking access from everyone that wants to protect their privacy is not an acceptable policy.
