Axios hijacks the back button. The TLDR is: we’re building too much speculative capacity and the “if we build it, they will come” assumption will be proven wrong.
- kouunji 10mo agoSuch bad behavior on the back button - it’s such a shabby trick, and makes me think less of any site that pulls that.
- walthamstow 10mo agoI always think about the developers who were asked to implement something like this
- blell 10mo agoIt's always a bug. Usually, some issue with an iframe navigating to another html page, which makes the back button go back in the iframe instead of the page itself. This usually happens because of an ad, which makes me wonder why people are still navigating without ad blockers.
- scottyeager 10mo agoHappens to me even with an ad blocker.
- throwaway_ocr 10mo agoSorry, what do you mean by this? Back button seems to work normally for me.
- Havoc 10mo agoYeah annoying. Need to find an extension to fix that.
