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
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.

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!
Unfortunately, so called legit sites do this shit now too. So you may find government, school, or work forcing you to interact with asshats like this.
