Probably found the answer to my problem.
In layman's words.
The web and e-mail protection module of my antivirus program (ESET NOD 32) on my Mac was not working correctly at the time of the e-mail link problem described above. E.g. it made it impossible to update the antivirus program. When this was cured, the e-mail links in the newsletter from El País started to respond properly.
This answer may be corroborated by the fact that I only had a problem on my Mac and never on my iPad.
Friendly suggestion, 🤞 🇨🇦
There are no known Windows-like Viruses in the wild that self replicate and affect macOS, because of the underling UNIX Foundation and Permission Limitation.
Starting in macOS 11 Big Sur and above.
The Operating System resides in a Sealed and Read Only Volume that can not be opened by the User nor by Third Party Applications.
The only Entity that can open and modify or alter this Volume is Apple.
That would occur when a update or UpGrade is performed.
The Only thing this Antivirus software is protecting is the Bank Account of the Developers and for zero return to the User aside from the problems this software creates.
AntiVirus Developers purposefully Market their product to create a “ Fear Factor “. In so doing, creating a False Need for their Product.
The The Built in Security is all that is required to protect the computer.
Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS, is an invitation for disaster.
Any of the below should be removed as per Developers Instructions
Third Party Security Software
