WTF Twitter? I clicked on the story. Clicked the back button. And Twitter had a big giant popup on THIS page suggesting that I install the twitter app. That had no obvious way to be removed. I have no idea how they did that. But I really hope that the advertising spam industry doesn't start abusing this to place invasive ads all over other people's pages.

You mean a modal on HN?? That has to be a bug in browser. Maybe even security bug?

  It was indeed displaying on top of HN and embedded in the page. That's what shocked me.
