Nothing is "hijacked"; it just sets the hash to allow permalinks. It should probably actually load the state when pressing back (or replace the current entry instead of adding a new one). But that's just a bug and not malice, as some seem to assume.

It actually is augmenting the history so "hijack" is correct.

Weird that back isn't restoring the state. Just stays the same for me.
