There are some scummy sites that literally hijack your browser history and overwrite it with links to the current page you are on, so clicking the back arrow does nothing. This always gets under my skin as an extremely hostile dark pattern to keep me locked on their page against my will.
Has anyone experienced this obnoxious browser history hijacking in Chrome? How do they pull this off and how can we report it so it stops being exploited?
