I have a little business card website up for my big

consulting side-business at http://playomatic.myownsite.me.
Now, at the moment, if I try to load it in
Google-Chrome-Stable, I'm
getting redirected to a yahoo! search for "create web",
If I try to load it in the floss chromium, I get a spammy
landing page,
But in all of Iceweasel, lynx, w3m, elinks it loads fine,
and nothing
has changed on my server (no redirect added to my vhost by
an intruder
or any such thing), also neither ping nor traceroute seem to
indicate
anything untoward or fishy.
The only thing I haven't tried is Epiphany, Konqueror,
Safari, or IE.
Oddly, it seems to work fine in chrome on my android phone,
though.
How can I determine what's interfering with this page
loading in some
browsers, and not others? or what's redirecting my traffic,
and how I
can stop it or prevent future re-occurrence?
This problem sounds bizarre to me.
One less-than-obvious conceivable factor that occurs to me is that
some webmail interfaces (looking at you, gmx.com
<http://gmx.com>) will point urls in
email text at creepy redirects (presumably so that your email
provider
can log what you read).
But I'm typing the url directly into the browser, and not clicking
on a link in an e-mail.
Also, when I sign out of chrome/chromium-sync, it works fine again.
so yeah, definitely something very odd going on.
For example, a link labeled
http://playomatic.myownsite.me <http://playomatic.myownsite.me>
will point to
https://deref-gmx.com/mail/client/[Some-Alpha-Numeric-Code]/dereferrer/?redirectUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fplayomatic.myownsite.me
<https://deref-gmx.com/mail/client/%5BSome-Alpha-Numeric-Code%5D/dereferrer/?redirectUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fplayomatic.myownsite.me>
If one of those redirects happens to be broken, through no fault of
yours, then following such links in emails might result in
unexpected
behaviour not unlike what you are seeing.
A shot in the dark, for what its worth.
Can you use the chrome developper tools to see what's going on ? (Press
the F12 key while chrome is open) Select the network tab, and type the
url in your address bar.
The network panel should show you what happens
That doesn't seem to tell me anything traceroute doesn't, except
trqacerout doesn't get redirect to a Yahoo! search like chrome does,
but nothing I see there seems ot clarify WHY or HOW it's getting
redirected, it's just showing me that it IS being led though some
circolocuitous route to where it should not.
