- pif 1y agoIt should be a crime for web browser letting the back button be hijacked in the first place!
- kazinator 1y agoIt shuld be a crime for web browsers to download and execute code as a matter of loading a page.
- arp242 1y agoNothing is "hijacked"; it just sets the hash to allow permalinks. It should probably actually load the state when pressing back (or replace the current entry instead of adding a new one). But that's just a bug and not malice, as some seem to assume.
- hoten 1y agoIt actually is augmenting the history so "hijack" is correct. Weird that back isn't restoring the state. Just stays the same for me.
