- isatty 5y agoI’m guessing you’ve ublock origin or similar on those browsers thats mitigating it. It’s broken on safari (iOS).
- jffry 5y agoI 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.
- iforgetti 5y agoOn iPhone Safari, after clicking the article link, I cannot navigate back to HN using the back button.
- oasisbob 5y agoIt'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)
- Igelau 5y agoI dub this pattern the "chum blast"
- gpm 5y agoI 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.
- bombela 5y agoFirefox 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.
- CRConrad 5y ago> With a long press... TIL. Sigh... Fucking un-discoverable phone UI shit.
