I was very confused by what was happening when I encountered that screen. Is there a way to block the overriding of back buttons, particularly on smartphones?

- dlvktrsh 5y agoI don't know the technicality of it but yes there definitely is
- monkeybutton 5y agoIts called back button hijacking. How it works or why such an abusable feature exists is a mystery to me though.
- contravariant 5y agoIt's probably there as a consequence of single page web apps needing the ability to store your location on the webpage. Maybe this could have been done in a way less prone to abuse, but basically you can't really trust your browser history to reflect what you think it is.
