> Second of all, this software is designed for people in high stress situations where one of their main goals is to avoid detection FTFA: `It’s intended to be a safety tool. A way for people in unstable, potentially violent, domestic situations to quickly leave the page.` This is the craziest part of this entire article to me. The UK Government needed to invent a whole design system that included an "ejection seat" button in case you're caught looking at UK Government websites? Or does this button exist because one website in particular needed this feature? Over design much?

IMO this seems quite well designed.
