It's HTTP headers not HTML as far as I could tell.

The article didn't say the exact name of the header but it mentions support.torproject.org uses it so looking into its headers:

    $ curl -I https://support.torproject.org/
    [redacted]
    Onion-Location: http://4bflp2c4tnynnbes.onion/index.html
    [redacted]

The Onion site autodiscovery has never worked for me when using Cloudflare's Onion routing. My sites (e.g. https://www.pastery.net/) include an alt-svc header, yet the browser never prompts me to switch to it. It does work for ProPublica, but not for my sites for which I have CF's Onion Routing enabled.

Has anyone else had this problem (or had this work)?

according to the blog post, alt-svc enables invisible onion services, which have been supported "for years". this new release enables "Onion Location", which is apparently presented in the address bar.

Oh hmm, I thought those were the same. I did think this has been supported for years, though I've never seen any indication that my browser is actually using the Onion service.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It’s such an unfortunate name to use though!

Why is that?

I assume that GEBBL is either only familiar with the -phile suffix in the context of 'pedophile', or is implying that that could be the case for others.
