Comment on Cool URIs Don't Change (1998)

Comments

One of my pet peeves are pages that detect that I am from another region and then redirect: not to the corresponding page in my language: but to the site's front page with a different region/language setting. Sometimes it is another domain altogether.

This makes it difficult to share links to info on some products in forums, chat or a Wiki -- because the recipient may not be from the same country as I am.

See also: https://xkcd.com/869/ for a variation of the same problem.
