  I feel like that’s solvable at the browser level.

  Like if I get redirected without clicking anything, pressing back should take you back to where you last clicked.

    Yes exactly, for both redirect loops and those dumb infinitely scrolling article pages where you have to back through each article you scrolled down to. It’s like a punishment for being interested in the next article the site has. You scroll up to reverse scrolling down, not hit the back button.

      Damn I didn’t even know this. Just usually got fed up and closed the tab

        They don’t even work properly half the time and you have to click twice for some of the articles. Assuming that wasn’t by design because shitty web dev managers think you can force people to stay on their site that way.

    I assumed it had been solved since it’s been two decades since I last remember seeing it.

      Friend are you sure you haven’t been damned into the worst timeline? Think back a bit, have there been any child sacrifices or deals with a demon in the recent past?

      Because I’m pretty sure I’ve been in the worst timeline all along, and I’ve certainly never stopped seeing that behavior
