So we're theoretically not supposed to complain about back-button breakage, but you really need to know before you click on this that it comprehensively broke my back button. When I tried to go back in my history (mobile FF, holding down back button), it was just endless copies of the site. I had no choice but to close the tab. With abuse that flagrant I'm honestly tempted to flag the article, but at minimum you should open it in a new tab.
- picture 4y agoIt doesn't seem to happen for me on Firefox Windows (with some anti-tracking/js customizations) I do notice that the reload button goes back and forth a few times, I guess the article continues to load after first visiting?
- andrewflnr 4y agoTime for ublock on my phone, maybe.
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoI think this breakage is epic enough to warrant calling out.
- MichaelCollins 4y agoThis website renders properly without any javascript enabled at all. It really seems like javascript mostly exists to make websites worse. Whitelisting useful javascript is less work than blacklisting harmful javascript, because there's more bad than good out there.
