Yeah but it feels like navigating around gets weird if you're not logged, because any link from the direct-linked content (original tweet for RTs, comments, etc...) will navigate then immediately hide the information behind a big popup, and if you close that popup... it sends you back where you came from.

It's a recent anti-pattern they added. Possible solution: replace the "twitter.com" portion of the URL by "nitter.net" and you won't be nagged by things like that.

It's definitely a weird and (anonymous-)user-hostile design, but here's a trick: reloading the page instead of closing the popup does load the content without the popup. (Until you navigate to the next link, of course, after which you'll need another reload.)
