A lot of online tests are going to get a lot easier, hehe
Why weren’t they going after this 10 years ago? I think I’ve just gotten into the habit of “open in new tab” because I know there’s a good chance “back” won’t do what I want.
Frankly, here on PieFed, “back” to a feed isn’t very useful, because you’ll just land somewhere in the feed, not back to the place where you started. “Open in new tab” solves that as well, for certain very small values of “solves.”
Yesssss, broken clock theorem at work
This is almost as annoying as websites disabling right click (there is an extension that re-enables it on command though)
Or disabling paste in password and bank account fields. Which is a literal crime in the US but never enforced.
And sites handling every link with JavaScript, making Ctrl - click to open in a new tab impossible
Fuck all sites that break basic browser functions
To nitpick for nitpicking’s sake: You can make Ctrl+Click work in JS.
You can hold shift to ignore a site’s hook for that.
RIP to the Microsoft support forums, then. Although if these get tanked in the search results that will probably be a small net benefit for society given that not a single problem has ever been successfully solved by the Microsoft support forums in the entire history of computing.
Bro you just need to run sfc /scannow one more time. Just trust me bro
That didn’t work? Did you reinstall yet?
I’m a Microsoft MVP.
I don’t reboot my computer I just reformat and reinstall every time I start it.
They could always go back to compliance with web standards and abandon their shitty Javascript bullshit.
Haha. Just kidding, they’d never do anything that sensible.
While they’re at it, could they please also penalize Android app developers who do this too?
I have successfully taught my children that if they play a game that requires ads between attempts at playing the game, that usually is faster to force close the game and start from the beginning again than wait for the ad to finish.
I’m so proud to see them just “nope” out of ads immediately.
Good practice, but consider putting something like Dnsnet on the phone to fully block all ads:
https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.clombardo.dnsnet
It starts a small “VPN” client that will filter incoming/outgoing traffic for any add content and kill it before it gets sent. Its free and works great on any android device, rooted or not.
I have a pi-hole at home to block them when they’re on Wi-Fi. I’ll look into that for when they’re out and about
I remember a long time ago complaining about a shitty pattern like this (specifically, bombing your history by artificially making a shitload of redirects and thus making the back button useless. Probably the old school way to do this shit). Back then I was told by web devs “this is how the web works, you can’t have a browser detect and block this!”.
Fuck that.
Probably the old school way to do this shit
Nope. The old-school way to do it worked perfectly and didn’t do any of that crap.
Hell yeah. Too many news sites being you to their main page when you hit the back button.
I didn’t know this kind of thing was possible until recently. I straight up couldn’t leave a site because of hijacking.
I almost never encounter it anymore because I habitually just open a new tab for everything. A habit I started doing because encountering it made me so angry I almost swore off computers altogether
Super niche adjacent rage but shoutout to max-for-live developers who implement their Ableton plugins as a series of user actions so that the instant you touch the plugin it detonates your entire undo history
long click on the “back button” will list the history of the tab you’ll be able to select the search history
(ay least on Firefox)
Or right-click.
Unless the site also spams the history to fill that list so that you can’t use it. Yes, I’ve seen that happen.
for those you just close the tab and never visit it again!
Honestly good move. While i never get redirected, most i get is website begging for click. “Are u leavin? Plz don’t leave, here’s mor articl you might be interested with” no thanks and fuck you.
Well it’s about time they do something impact full and useful. This would be a useful thing I think
☞ use full
This isnt help full
☞ impactful
