Google will take action against website history manipulation

[harlan4096]

Chromium developers plan to integrate functionality in Chromium that protects against history manipulation by websites.

History manipulation refers to sites adding pages to the browsing history, e.g. in the form of a number of redirects, when a user accesses a page on a site to make it more difficult to go back to the previous page or forward to the next.

Usually, what happens is that activating back once appears to do nothing or redirects the user to another page on the site.

Hitting back multiple times may appear to do nothing as well, may load another page on the domain, may load the previous page opened by the user, or may overshot and load a page further down the browsing history.
