I'm definitely going to read through it. But one thing immediately made an impression on me: CTRL+CLICK doesn't open links in a new tab, but the input event is hijacked and it opens the page in the same tab. The same with other modifiers like SHIFT+CLICK, ALT+CLICK etc.
The feeling is one of losing control of your computer, like the site is trying to keep you trapped in a tab. Very unpleasant. I know you don't mean it this way. And I appreciate it's loading the pages inline without reloading, but it's absolutely not worth it, if people have to constantly fight years, decades of muscle memory in order to use the site.
Please fix this! Links should act like links.

So if you click back/next it sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't. And when it works, it doesn't show the page where you had scrolled it to (the native behavior) but scrolls you always to the top, so you lose context. Also if you right-click a link to open it in a new tab from the menu, it opens a new tab... but at the home page, instead of the link. I have to say... pretty bad experience start to end :(
