Website keeps redirecting me to v0

[Maxim-Mazurok]

• The issue is present in the latest release.
• I have searched the issues of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Current Behavior 😯

When I visit https://material-ui.com/#/ it redirects me to https://v0.material-ui.com/#/ every time

Expected Behavior 🤔

I don't want to be redirected to the old version.

Steps to Reproduce 🕹

Steps:

1. Visit https://material-ui.com/#/

Your Environment 🌎

I'm using stable Chrome 77.0.3865.90 (Official Build) (64-bit) on CentOS 7
Cookies for material-ui only have Google Analytics. Opening in Incognito mode results in the same behavior.

It seems expected. Only v0 uses this anchor navigation approach.

Well, it's not what I expect, though.
It appears that I've bookmarked it with the anchor back in the days, and now whenever I type material-ui in my chrome address bar - it suggests me to go to this bookmark.
Your answer helped me to understand the problem. So I changed my bookmark and also I had to clear my browsing history to make Chrome forget about the old version and suggest me only the new version, without the anchor.

Still, I think that for the homepage this behavior should be changed because I expect that I'm not the only one who has old version bookmarked.

What about the people that intentionally bookmark docs for v0?

@eps1lon I think that a bookmark on the v0 subdomain is better.

This redirection was most useful 1 year and a half ago when we first released v1. I won't object if we remove it at this point. However, I don't matter much either way, I don't expect a significant difference.

My idea is to remove redirect only from the home page, not from other pages. As it makes sense, indeed, that people might've bookmarked old docs and are still using them.

My proposal, we kill the redirection next year.

Traffic going down:

But a large part of the traffic uses this redirection logic:

I believe the timing to kill the redirection is right (fewer users + there is a viable alternative) #17637 (comment)
