This is the exact URL I get when copying the URL in chrome on android:

http://fqa.9front.org/%E2%80%9Dhttps://www.jwz.org/blog/2016/10/they-live-and-the-secret-history-of-the-mozilla-logo/%22

I looked at the source and it's:

<a href=”https

Note that the rune ” is used instead of ascii ".

When sysupdating with sysupdate it fetches the last update from hg, which 
contains git9 and a new version of sysupdate itself. This new sysupdate 
(after mk install) fetches the .git seed directory, which allows to fetch 
the new updates into /dist/plan9front. All following sysupdates work like 
before, but using git9 instead of hg.

I don't know what exactly is the plan, but that's at least what I get as 
a normal user with sysupdate. If in doubt, ask ori? I haven't been very 
active in the community lately due to work and Unreal Engine 5.
