My favorite are the sites that somehow fill your browser history such that you can’t push the “back” button fast enough. No idea why browsers allow this.

- asddubs 5y agoif you long press it, you'll get a list of sites, so you can just skip back multiple at once
- throwaway894345 5y agoYes, but every item in that list is the spam link, so what’s the point?
- jon-wood 5y agoA recent dark pattern I’ve seen is for news websites to add their home page to the history stack when you click a link to an article anywhere on that site so that tapping back doesn’t take you back to the page you were linked from.
- Taywee 5y agoBrowsers allow it because it's needed for single page apps and history-aware modals to function properly.
