That site is pure cancer. I opened the article in the same tab and then pressed back to come back to news.ycombinator.com, but it just showed me a bunch of blog spam from taboola which seemed to have hijacked the back button :-/

Not for me on mobile with adblock and pihole.

But there are many sites that hijack back button and is disgusting.

Because of this annoying practice, I disable automatic redirects on Firefox. I highly recommend doing the same!
Install uBlock.
+1, works well with Edgeium + uBlock.
Firefox on mobile allows extensions on Android. Alas, not on iOS.
Use Brave. I've just used it since the Friday last week and it's already stopped over 10k ads and saved me 400 MB. In one week!
