Annoying user experience on back navigation due to dummy fast-forwarding history entries #21

Description

@KenjiBaheux

We've observed websites abusing (or misusing) History.

Typically, the History get stuffed with multiple dummy entries that fast-forward the user back to the page they wanted to leave.

Getting back to the desired history entry is extremely hard:

  • Because of the instant fast-fowarding nature of the dummy history entries, the user can't wait for a visual confirmation to know when to stop hitting the back button.
  • As a result, the user either overshoot or undershoot its destination resulting in guaranteed frustration.
