    It appears that the formatting is what causes it. The plain link works but the formatted one doesn’t. I haven’t seen this kind of formatting yet but I think it wouldn’t be too hard to add support for it.

      It’s the fault of the user who made that post. They used Markdown incorrectly. Plain text is supposed to go in the square brackets, and the url is supposed to go in the parentheses. [This](https://www.kcsoftwares.com/?sumo) becomes This.

      They literally created a link that uses “url” as the url. Trying to click their link gives an error no matter which browser or app you use.
