    Ok. So now that you have scrolled down a bit and are reading let’s bother you by hiding the whole page behind a newsletter subscription prompt that has an almost invisible „x“ in the corner to close it.

      It seems like you accidentally moved your mouse to the side of the screen, let me introduce you to some unfogettable deal, I’m pretty sure you didn’t wanted to leave yet.

      Oh, you clicked on the back button, but fortunately we can override that, so you can enjoy another popup before we allow you to go back to That other website.

        The really horrendous ones actually permanently break your back button, so you have no choice but to close the tab and start over.

          Firefox allows you to right-click the back button to see a drop-down of your history. This also works on mobile using a long press. But idk if the chromium browsers have that feature.

              That’s only on the page itself, not the browser. Doesn’t matter what site you visit, you can right click the back button and anything else that’s not part of the web page.

          On PC, try clicking and holding on back button, it will show history for the current tab. You can go back from there.

      Oh you closed that? Yeah, we’re just going to hide the rest of the article and show you links to other articles so we can show you that pop-up again.
