- marak830 7mo agoIt's a work around to them making changes to deliberately change the expected results of pressing "back"
- TeMPOraL 7mo agoIt's also not a very effective workaround, because some of the websites in question end up spamming multiple instances of their home page in the history stack.
- zozbot234 7mo agoYou can usually address this by going back as far as possible, then holding the button again so more of the history shows up. And IME, it's only really broken sites that have this problem in the first place.
- TeMPOraL 7mo agoYes, but that's super annoying and at that point graduates to being a shitty workaround.
- vitro 7mo agoMy car leaks oil. So I refill it here and there. This fixes issue with any car maker and does not require action of any other actor.
- nkrisc 7mo agoYes, it’s a workaround because it doesn’t require anyone to fix the issue.
- Spare_account 7mo ago>it completely solves the issue on any site It doesn't solve the problem with Instagram links, which in my experience do the following: 1) Open a new browser tab, with no history. 2) Close the original tab, so I can't easily get back to where I was.
- zozbot234 7mo agoThat's a different kind of dysfunction, though. You can address it by copying the link and pasting it in a new tab, or if that's not possible, copying the current page to a new tab and clicking on the link there.
- jdwithit 7mo agoI've noticed that on Instagram, too. Absolutely infuriating.
