  1. Lately I've noticed all kinds of sites stopping you from being able to use the back button to get off the site. What is happening there? Is it a script? Why can't it be stopped? I want to be in control of my back button. Am I crazy?
  2. The problem is one page that redirects to another, the one you see. The browser stores that first page that redirects in the back history, so when you go back you get redirected forward again. Thats why if you quickly go back twice it generally fixes it. I've never seen it used for anything sinister to do with ad views.
  3. security.stackexchange.com

    I can long press the back button to view a long list of the same exact link (this is a screenshot on Imgur), and eventually the search page is listed at the bottom (omitted for my privacy). How do websites pull this back button hijacking off? And why does it not appear on actual search history?
  4. Can’t find what you’re looking for?
