Alright, I just added Google Photos to the list of links I won’t click anymore. What purpose does it serve to break the back button?

  Because google wants to choose what you see and where you go next. The back button is an escape. So they don't want that to work.

      Looks like it only breaks on safari/ios Works fine on windows on all browsers, works fine on osx with chrome/firefox, doesn't work with safari though

      The back button also breaks for me on macOS Safari.

      Same here. I finally got back after rapidly tapping the back button enough times.

      I hate this redirect nonsense as well. FYI though, if you tap-and-hold on the back button on Mobile Safari, you'll get a menu of the last 10-ish pages you were on.

        On Android Chrome too, but the back usually located at bottom of screen (the system back, Android Chrome doesn't have its own back).

    Hijacked for Safari on MacOS for me.
