I am getting redirected to the world bank website every time I click on an international article. I can do the share/link thing but it's annoying to have to do so every time I want to read about news outside of my country.

This used to work very well for me but now all I get is the following for every website ....

Redirect Notice
The page you were on is trying to send you to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia.

If you do not want to visit that page, you can return to the previous page.
