Good. I hate that shit. They should also punish sites that try to disable right-click.

From the post:
>So you thought you’d just read that webpage and then go back to the previous page? A bold assumption. All too often, clicking the back button in your browser doesn’t actually take you back. It’s called back button hijacking, and Google has thus far tolerated it. That ends in June, when the company will designate it a “malicious practice,” and any site continuing to do it will face consequences. Back button hijacking is a way of wringing more pageviews out of visitors. It’s common on sites that live and die on search traffic. You may end up on a page because it looks like something you want, but instead of letting you leave the domain, it manipulates your page history to insert something else when you click back.
Microsoft sweating bullets. I swear half their pages do this.
A lot of sports web sites do this. The legit ones. Not the streaming sites with live games. ESPN is a link jack site.
On some sites I had made it a habit to double-click the back button. They had me gaslighted into believing it was a bug in the (somewhat uncommon) browser I'm using.
Thank you, joogle!
About fucking time. Shit drives me crazy.
