Click a link and need to go back 10x to get back. Yes, I enjoy the footballs.

    I recently looked into this after it seemed like Facebook messed with my back button on a private mobile window:

    Someone pointed out that it’s nice to have, for example, your email provider know that you probably want to go back for a message to your inbox instead of going back to the previous page.

    But what if browsers monitored which sites abused the feature and showed a pop-up when you click the back button, just like they offer to show you notifications? They could show you:

    This site has been reported to hijack the back button. Would you like to go back to the last domain that you visited?

    and offer to remember the setting.
