"Check our this great content before you leave" ... anyone else sick of websites stuffing an exit interstitial in your browser history, just in case you try and use the back button to leave?

What do you mean? They have a Related Reading section. I searched "Check" on the page and nothing came.

When you visit the article posted, the site manages to insert another item in your browser history, at least on mobile.

When I attempted to leave the article with my browser's back button, instead of seeing HN, I saw the "Before you leave..." message on top of more article teasers.

I’m not experiencing that functionality on iOS.
