Back Button Hijacking

Post by Gump »

I searched the forums, but older articles (2015) were presented.

I've noticed how some sites like healthline.com engage in "back button hijacking" -- something that you can easily get around by a long-press on the back button -- but really, I would like to block and/or inhibit that behavior. I read that engaging in this activity is considered a violation in Google Ads, too.

I'm on MacOS Monterey.

Is there a reliable way we can block or inhibit this behavior by these sites?


Thanks.
