Does anyone else get their back button history destroyed by visiting this page? I can't click back after I go to it. Firefox / MacOS.


Same here with FF. I clicked the link and then tried to click back to HN and my back button was greyed out.


Are you opening it in a (Facebook) container perhaps?


Maybe! Is that what it does? :)


It'd open the website in a new tab, discarding the old one. The new tab has its own isolated history with nothing in it. The back button would work fine but there'd be nothing to go back to :)


Safari on iOS mobile works fine for me.


Edge on Windows, history is fine.
