Description
While https://gitpod.io/from-referrer/ is a convenient way to create an "Open in Gitpod" button, it is broken in browsers like Brave and results in a bad user experience.
I'd like to track how many people end up seeing the error message saying "No Referrer Found" (source code).
I'd also like to track how many people successfully get redirected based on the referrer header.
This will help me decide whether or not to write documentation for from-referrer.
