I normally just open things in a new tab, avoids that problem entirely.

But just for you, I clicked the link normally, waited for it to load, hit back, and ended right back up at the HN page. So either an adblocker fixes the problem, or they have.

They seem to be adding history items when you scroll. Try scrolling down the page some, then going back. It took me about ten clicks to get back when I tried it.

You seem to be correct.

Though the new tab approach still works.

Yeah, opening in a new tab can prevent all sorts of idiocy.

Back button doesn't work at all for me once I scroll partway down. It just bumps me back to the top of the article and then loops infinitely
