Click a link and need to go back 10x to get back. Yes, I enjoy the footballs.

Yeah, I also hate back-button hijacking. I suspect some websites do it to artificially force more page views for ad revenue. Try a long-press on the back button to view the history for that browser tab and click on the most recent page you think won't redirect.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I usually right click the back button and go 2 entries back. Done.

Microsoft also does this a lot on some of their sites.

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today 3 points 10 months ago

Usually with this, it's like 20 entries, so pushes everything else off.

The ones where it's only a couple entries mostly seem to be the ones where there's multiple articles on a single page and it's at least might be attempting to be helpful?

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This could easily be fixed by the browsers but they don't. Sure wish these back button tricks would stop. Especially news sites try to keep you from getting back to your search and makes your page refresh over and over. I wonder if that behavior counts as hits to their advertisers.

[–] subtext@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I just default to opening in a new tab because of shitty UX like this

is there by any chance like a ublock filter specific for this?

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

Open all links in new tabs.

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

People have been complaining about this for a long time https://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=613804

Anyone know of a good modern extension for this?

Go to about:config and set "browser.navigation.requireUserInteraction" to true

[–] kootepe@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Holy smokes I never realized this intended behaviour, but of couse it is...

[–] Mushroomm@sh.itjust.works -1 points 10 months ago

Out of curiosity how old are you?

[–] perfectly_boiled_pizza@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

You can stop this by changing the settings in your browser. In Firefox go to about:config and search for browser.navigation.requireUserInteraction and toggle it so that it says true.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

just click again, but fast enough to get the redirect, but not too fast to miss it and double click, and try not to do it a third time or you're going back a few ages.

[–] AngryPancake@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Or right click the back button

[–] SpaceCadet@feddit.nl -1 points 10 months ago

Or ctrl+w to close the fucking site and never come back.

[–] RedStrider@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I was just thinking about this.

Super annoying because it can actually be fixed by using History.replaceState() over History.pushState().

I guess the reason they do it is either to keep you stuck on their sucky site, or just incompetence.

[–] el_abuelo@programming.dev 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You're right, but "incompetence" seems harsh. Maybe I'm just sensitive today.

Hanlon's Razor: Don't attribute to malice what can be sufficiently explained by stupidity.

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Firefox should really implement a feature that hides this bullshit from the previous sites menu

Go to about:config and set "browser.navigation.requireUserInteraction" to true

[–] blackluster117@possumpat.io 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Couldn't be me. Opening links in a new tab master race

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Middle click is muscle memory. Has been for 20 years.
