Website hijacks my back button in Safari. Is there something that can be done to prevent this?

  Disable Javascript?

  Simple. Stop clicking on TechCrunch links.

  I know we (Mozilla) are working on fixing this in Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1515073 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1515073 You may want to check Apple's bug tracker, they likely have an open issue on this already.

    It would be a better idea to block ads served from such sites, or to even send punitive requests.

      It's possible Firefox already does that via its enabled-by-default tracking protection. At least I don't seem to have an issue with the back button here.

        Fixing the bug only fixes it for Firefox users, but disincentivizing it fixes it for everyone. For me, uMatrix blocks it; it redirects through https://guce.advertising.com/collectIdentifiers https://guce.advertising.com/collectIdentifiers. I could disable it or go through IA or whatever, but I really haven't the patience to deal with these websites.
