My process
1. Open Forbes link in a new tab
2. Get redirected to completely blank page with only /welcome/ in the URL path
3. Temporarily enabling JavaScript for its domain and reloading won't help, since it lost the original URL and I don't remember where I got the link, so I don't even try
4. Give up and close the tab
For most sites where JavaScript is required, temporarily enabling (uBlock origin advanced mode) and reloading is enough. Forbes is the only one I recall which completely loses the URL in the redirect.
