#backbutton — Public Fediverse posts

You know those back button-hijacking sites? Especially noticing this on mobile.

"Back button hijacking interferes with the browser's functionality, breaks the expected user journey, and results in user frustration."

Nice to see Google do something about this. Even if you don't use their search, this will still deter people from doing this.

A small victory for the web.
