Palemoon and Firefox both just tell me there is a problem.

Say what?

1. You already know what a redirection is. For example, you enter the URL
http://www.forteinc.com/
into your web browser, and it redirects you to another URL
http://www.forteinc.com/main/homepage.php

2. You already also know that on some web sites, when you try to go to a
page that is missing, the web site redirects you to a different page
which may say something like "ooops, what were you looking for?".

3. Now think what tries to happen when the "ooops" page is also missing.
The web site will redirect you a second time to the "ooops" page,
and a third time, and a fourth time, and so on and so on and so on.

Eventually your web browser will figure out that this is going nowhere
and will tell you that the web site "redirected you too many times".

Often this means the website owners are doing work on the web site
and it will be back to normal in either a few hours or a few weeks.

There are also interstitial pages used with meta-refresh (even if set to
zero for timeout) that are used to redirect your navigation within a
site. In additions, many sites are now interactive: they deliver web
pages that are heavily scripted to provide dynamic content, and that
content could be (and often is) off-domain. The content must be
redirected from another source (versus redirection of the entire
document to another).

That site uses WordPress which is a lazyman's crappy web designer.
Redirection gets so heavily used with WP that it has its own redirection
managers (https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/). However, if a
site dev doesn't use it or is unaware of loose or unconnected nav paths,
it isn't of any help. Too often web devs make changes without testing
the effect on their site and also too often don't bother testing
externally (coming in from the outside using a non-customized host).

I use both uBlock Origin (with all blacklists except uBO will eliminate
the overlaps) and uMatrix (configured only to block off-domain scripts).
My visit to the poachedegg.net has uBO blocking some of that domain's
own content (not all of it is considered wholly safe), some of WP's own
content, Google tracking (analytics and tag manager), and hotjar and
revolvermaps content. uMatrix is blocking off-domain scripts from the
same sources but also from tryinteract.com which uBO does not. The site
renders okay for me. While breaking sites by blocking some of its
resources can often cause problems in the delivered web page, often it
can also fix problems, like crappy scripting that generates too many
redirects.

pyotr told use which web browsers he uses but nothing about which
extensions he has installed into each, or what happens when he loads the
web browsers in their safe mode to eliminate modification of content by
any installed extensions. Anti-virus software that interrogates web
traffic can also affect odd behavior in a web page.
