It was a resolved problem before that, by letting the browser do what the browser is good at, instead of implementing new UI paradigms on top of it.

So I add more code, and thus more complexity to websites, in order for the browser to behave in the way it would have already behaved in the first place, had I not thrown the modal in there, and instead let it work as intended.
- mmis1000 3y agoModern social websites uses infinite scroll, and infinite scroll don't really work with browser's back navigation button. A direct navigation means you lost your read position completely. Hence nobody ever navigate directly.

Which is part of the reason why infinite scroll falls under the same category as modals as far as I am concerned. There is a reason why pages with lots of entries are paginated.
