Does tumblr really hijack the browser back button? I tried to get back to HN from that link by hitting the back button, but I got redirected back to the tumblr article. I could have just closed the browser tab, but a long-press on the back-button allowed me to select this HN page from the recent history. Why does anyone still do this? Do they really think I give in and stay reading/browsing tumblr forever instead of doing what I had planned?
