Browsers ought to be able to do something about history hijacking. Maybe limits on history shenanigans across domains.

- CamperBob2 4y agoIn Firefox, you just need to left-click and hold the back button to get a list that allows you to go back to any of several earlier pages. Pretty handy.
- andrewflnr 4y agoOccasionally even that hasn't saved me, but I suppose it's pretty close to the optimal UI. Maybe it just needs to partition the history entries by domain to defeat the sites that spam the hell out of your history.
- somenameforme 4y agoThis is the same in Brave (and I'd assume Chrome as well). You can also just right click on the back button.
- anon223345 4y agoBigger issue isn’t the browser, your ISP can issue a deep cookie, you’ll have to VPN to get around that. But a lot load balancers now fingerprint VPN addresses so that doesn’t work either
- andrewflnr 4y agoI think you're talking about a different problem. Here I'm not talking about tracking, just websites that hijack the back button.
