Provide a screenshot and describe the bug

This isn't exactly a bug in the code but I thought it warranted a little more priority than a documentation request.

The main README contains this set of links:
If you want more bookmark categorization and note-taking features, check out [Archivy](https://archivy.github.io/), [Memex](https://github.com/WorldBrain/Memex), [Polar](https://getpolarized.io/), or [LinkAce](https://www.linkace.org/).
in the direct comparisons section.

I don't know how long it's been the case but the link given for Polar takes people to what appears to be a Thai gambling website. I don't know if their operation is legit, shady or malicious, considering I don't speak the language or know the law there, but I do know it isn't a bookmark management project.

An ironic problem... an archiving related tool suffering bitrot. Ah well.

Steps to reproduce

- Read README page
- Click link
- Be incredibly confused
