Why do sites like this jam six identical entries into my browser history? Do they think I'm going to try to hit the back button, have it not work, and then I'll just go, "Well, I guess I'm stuck here! Maybe I'll click on some ads!"
- RobertDeNiro 8y agoIn some ways, the state of the web is degenerating. Way too much tracking, everyone wants metrics on everything you do. And don't get me started on mobile ads.
- didgeoridoo 8y agoPermissions, permissions, permissions. "This site wants to take a dump in your browser history. Allow?" should fix things nicely.
- drb91 8y agoYea I wish we could keep the browser in document mode and switch to app mode if someone is an asshole enough to embed an article in a single page app that loads the content asynchronously.

- brianpgordon 8y agoMore likely there's a ticket in the icebox to fix it but for some reason the product owner never wants to allocate time to work on a bug to help users leave the site faster. :)
