Hilarious memories of hitting this when playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
For some reason I tap shift when thinking. Sticky Keys is my bane.
You can turn it off.

#103The 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...

That blog entry is a delight to read!

The gov.uk Design Team are a treasure.

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
RTCW:ET and sticky keys!

#107(a class="quickBrowserEscape ..." target="_blank" href="https://www.google.ca/") Need to leave site for your safety? Quick Escape $('.quickBrowserEscape').on('click', function () { document.body.style.opacity = 0; document.title = 'New Tab'; window.open('https://www.weather.gc.ca/canada_e.html', '_blank'); window.location.replace($('.quickBrowserEscape').attr('href')); // removes current page session DOES NOT WORK IN…
Best would be if they took care to match the overall brightness of the page they redirect to.
Currently they're going from a "not 100% bright website" to "very much 100% bright website" and the flash in people's faces will be relatively obvious, if the other person been trying to hide websites themselves. I've heard.

I knew about history.replace but I had no idea you could cross sites. Suppose a site, for example, leaves a trail of Amazon Shopping, and curious, you go to it to recall what you did, but it’s Amaz0n instead.
Well there's no need to suppose. While I think if it hasn't been exploited in 30 years, there probably isn't an attack surface, you can always demonstrate and report an exploit.
I dont think its highly exploitable, but you could get people in trouble - have them visit innocuous website during a vulnerable time window, spray a bunch of adult websites into their history, report them to the boss, future visits do not inject history items.

#110Brilliant feature, well done Vancouver PD. A very serious boss mode. Lotus 1-2-3 wouldn't look quite right here but weather.ca is plausible.
I came here for the boss key
