Hi, author here. We've taken no intentional action to change the way the back button works - in fact, I too hate it when websites do that. Can you PM me with some details about what you're seeing? I'm having issues reporducing it with my particular setup.

Good to know! I don't believe PM is possible on hacker news so I hope you don't mind that I describe some details right here? My browser is the latest (v73.0.1) Firefox on the latest build of Windows10. I confirmed the issue with all addons disbled so it is not an addon issue. I think I know what may be responsbile. When initially I load the page the back button works as intended for about a second. After that delay the page seems to load some resources from static.parastorage.com and www.mymobileapp.online. Once those resources are finished loading the back button does not navigate back to the HN article on the first press. Have to press once more. So I presume a script from one of those domains is responsible. Hope this helps!
