I'd say it's an IP or subnet block, unrelated to the type of browser. Maybe automatic block of crawler (too many page requests in short time). If you know your IP address (e.g. https://ipinfo.io/ip) email the moderators. hn@ycombinator.com
I find it blocks a lot on my Android tablet with Firefox, although the "Chrome Mask" extension seems to help. Without it I can only browse a couple pages deep into "/news" and maybe one page of "/newest", and often can't open discussion threads or user profiles.

It does not block any of my mobile browsers and never has.
Maybe it is your carrier?
Because you know “hacker.”
Hi! I have the same issue (Orange France mobile network). It might be IPv6-related?

I was able to load up this page in a private browser (to be logged out) over cellular on an iPhone.
This might be something with your phone.
Working fine from Firefox on Android over PureTalk (small MVNO using AT&T's spectrum).
