I was able to click on the link, and click back to return to these comments, in both FF and Chrome. What behavior are you seeing that's different?

It's using whatever library stuffs an extra page in your history, "More stories to check out before you go!" in a blue banner at the top of the page. (iOS chrome)

Firefox Android, it fills the back history in a loop. With a long press on the back button though I can then jump over the looping page. Back to HN.

On iPhone Safari, after clicking the article link, I cannot navigate back to HN using the back button.

I was unable to go back on mobile Firefox. Going back would instantly redirect me back forwards.

Edit: Tested on desktop firefox, and it works fine there.

I’m guessing you’ve ublock origin or similar on those browsers thats mitigating it. It’s broken on safari (iOS).

I tried again with brand new, blank profiles in Chrome and Firefox (default settings, no extensions) and still can't make it hijack the back button.
