I believe this is also why 911 doesn't show up in iOS/Android call logs
That and they dont want butt dialing 911 to be easy

#83The gov.uk Design System calls this the "Exit a page quickly" pattern [1], with an associated component [2]. It can be activated by clicking the Shift key three times. There's this nice blog [3] that explains why they chose Shift instead of other keys, and also gives a nice overview of the pattern. [1] https://design-system.service.gov.uk/patterns/exit-a-page-qu...

This would also leave intact cookies, local/session storage, indexeddb, caches. All of which abusers do actually check, when controlling their victims.

#85The Trevor Project (LGBTQ support/suicide prevention site) has the same thing, triggered by a hotkey (press ESC three times). https://www.thetrevorproject.org/

I'm sure 99% don't? Unless your abuser is a CS major

Was this a shared memory, specifically with regard to Sticky Keys and Return to Castle Wolfenstein? I thought it was a unique problem with me and my friends lol
And then the spamming of the communication that would follow.
Those pre-canned German voices were so great.

#89But when the Vancouver PD are beating you up, you wont have time to load the page to locate the quick escape button.
That's funny, right before this I was just reading about how some idiot I knew from back in the day beat the shit out of some stranger on the SkyTrain for his headphones. Maybe it's time to realize how fucked Vancouver is and that the cops aren't the problem

The thing that still works is the back button after the redirection to Google, and you can still un-close the tab with Ctr-Shf-T which pops the Google page with back history intact. They have "cache-control: max-age=0" which probably should be changed to "cache-control: no-store". Still, the back button has the history if the user clicked links. Improvements could be:
- Recommend the usage of incognito mode.
- Blank the page immediately with "document.body.innerHTML=''" before the page replacement, as the replacement alone can have a delay and the abuser could see a glimpse of the police page. Blanking is immediate.
