www is dead. Let it rest in peace. There's zero value by having a redirect, by supporting it we will only prolong its existence. Things that might've required it (although I can't think of any) will not be able to open Modrinth anyway.

Some browsers automatically redirect www, and so confuse users to writing www.modrinth.com in their links. (sometimes even making internal links in Modrinth itself!)

What browsers actually do that?
