YouTube does this. Infuriating well beyond mild.
The got some kind of resource leak too. I just close my browser sometimes lol
Motherfucker put a trigger warning on that shit
yo honk honk am here to help. Right click the back button to bring up a menu of several previous pages select when it was the search engine or whatever you used before. For Firefox. If you're on chrome, you can cry. Honk honk, goose out.
On Firefox you can also hold your left click on the back arrow for the same effect.
Wait, toads don't goose...
Google translate does this, too. This not only pollutes the back button, it also pollutes the entire browser history.
Deepl is vastly superior to Translate btw
Edit - look at these knobends 👇
This is what's wrong with the internet now, some wank coming up with a massively niche reason why every comment is wrong.
Use a mix of both you insufferable fucking plonkers
People have been complaining about this for a long time https://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=613804
Anyone know of a good modern extension for this?
You can right click (long press on mobile) to skip back to the page that took you there
This is why I have dozens, if not hundreds of tabs open. Usually I open links in a new tab so I can easily tab back to where I came from. Using a hierarchical tab manager makes this work better because when you're done with the topic, you close the whole branch... theoretically.
This tactic also seems targeted at mobile users where it's harder to break the loop.
