Click a link and need to go back 10x to get back. Yes, I enjoy the footballs.

    Yeah, I also hate back-button hijacking. I suspect some websites do it to artificially force more page views for ad revenue. Try a long-press on the back button to view the history for that browser tab and click on the most recent page you think won’t redirect.

      I usually right click the back button and go 2 entries back. Done.

      Microsoft also does this a lot on some of their sites.

        Usually with this, it’s like 20 entries, so pushes everything else off.

        The ones where it’s only a couple entries mostly seem to be the ones where there’s multiple articles on a single page and it’s at least might be attempting to be helpful?
