Hijacks the back button.
- razemio 3y agoI still do not understand why this is even allowed. It is so annoying. It is not even hard to do. Can happen accidentally.
- atoav 3y agoI mean you have to be able to do history manipulation if you want to have history to any meaningful changes you do via JS on a page (and you should make sure to adjust the URL as well so people can go back to that information). But I agree, it should not be possible to prevent users from leaving back from the site.
- fuzzy2 3y agoYou can easily spam the browser history using a redirect slide, effectively preventing users from leaving the page. No need for any JS, works even with active ad blockers. It’s relatively common on malicious sites.
- 0l 3y agoModern browsers will rarely store redirecting sites in the history stack AFAIK
- dcow 3y agoWhich browser does this? Would love to see the feature in action…
- mschuster91 3y agoEven on actually respectable newspapers. Spiegel Online for example has this in place...
- solarkraft 3y agoSpegel Online also does "pay or okay" (pay or accept tracking), so maybe at some point it's time to re-evaluate their respectability.
- mschuster91 3y agoMany media do this these days, it's become an industry standard. And to be fair I do get the point why they are doing that, good journalism has to be financed somehow lest you end up with a situation like in Austria where corruption scandals involving government-paid ads wrecking the entire political establishment and media elites of the country [1].

- fuzzy2 3y ago> good journalism lol I do agree though, on a more general level: it does take money to produce those articles, authors gotta get paid. However, IMHO, not at any cost.
- hpeter 3y agoI came here to say the same. I don't like it.
- djvu97 3y agoBan such sites with loud music and hijacking back button
- NightrideFM 3y agoOh damn, I should probably fix that
- NightrideFM 3y agoFound the stray pushState
- didsomeonesay 3y agoanother bug report: in chat, after somebody changes their nickname and you try to use tab completion on their name, it will use the original nickname for completion
- NightrideFM 3y agooooh, nice one. I wonder if that was related to me using /sanick commands, or a more general bug. Rekt is some versions behind the nightride.fm version of the site
- NightrideFM 3y agoFixed
