- jcims 6y agoDid you open in a new tab per chance? Slashdot hasn't ever done that as far as I know.
- ivanstojic 6y agoI can confirm: if you try to back out, you are presented with a blue bar at the top saying something like "before you leave..." https://imgur.com/a/93wjGED https://imgur.com/a/93wjGED

- MrLabCoat 6y agoYeah you have to hold the back button in safari and choose the last page of you don’t open in a new window. I hate sites that jack your back button like that. Normally they end up blocked in my Pi-hole. Reason they do that: bad coders using cut and paste code or a framework they don’t understand and think it will help users navigate their site easier. Had a teacher go off on how this practice should be illegal like un-closable pop ups.
- matchbok 6y agoGod, slashdot is such a mess.
- BbzzbB 6y agoOn Firefox Mobile (Android) simply nothing happens.
- globular-toast 6y agoWhen that happens I long click the back button and select HN from there manually. This always seems to work.
