Unrelated to the article, but hijacking the history and making it impossible to navigate back is the new cancer in the internet I guess.
I'm surprised to see this from Instructables (Autodesk). If you right-click the back button you'll see that it did four redirects and you can click the 5th to get back. I highly doubt this is effective at anything.

I seem to recall that hijacking the back button goes back to the 1990's. I suspect some of the ways in which it was done (like with naive redirects) probably don't work today, but the annoying effect has been there for eons.
I remember browsers stopped it for awhile. Maybe I’m misremembering?
This is incredible... hats off to the maker. That being said I really wish that the Chinese ETA 2824-2 clone that is the PT5000 would see more action in place of Seiko movements. It's more accurate, runs at 4Hz, and isn't too far off in terms of cost (last I checked - I could be wrong as regards bulk orders). Then again I don't know whether it can be modded to be "open heart" a la the NH38 so it might not have been a…

Why do browsers even allow this behavior? The back button should automatically skip any blind redirects.
they want the back button work with app internal state changes
