You need to watch carefully what happens.

If you type URL in, and it remains what you type it until just after you
press retun, then it is likely that it is the remote web site which
decided to redirect you to a different URL.


If you use curl -I <url> at line command, you may see the response is a

site on a dofferent city likely based on geolocation based on your IP
address (which is an art, not a science).
