Wow, let's not get carried away with crazy new technologies and radical redesigns.

  Oh that ship already sailed. Click on the "parent" link. Notice that it breaks your browser history now because instead of being a link to an element in the document it runs some javascript to scroll the page… commence teeth gnashing.

    This is why, on almost every website I visit where I know I'll be opening multiple links (which would normally require hitting the back button to view them all), I just open every link in a new tab and then close the tab when finished. I suspect many people use HN (and similar) this way. It's always a fun time when I occasionally use the browser/website "as intended" and hit the back button, but the scroll position has been completely lost so it takes a bit to find the exact place I was looking originally.

      Sure, and I do that too. This is for navigating within the page though, and no I'm not going to open a new tab per comment I want to read.
