My car leaks oil. So I refill it here and there. This fixes issue with any car maker and does not require action of any other actor.
replyYes, it’s a workaround because it doesn’t require anyone to fix the issue.
reply>it completely solves the issue on any site
replyIt doesn't solve the problem with Instagram links, which in my experience do the following:
1) Open a new browser tab, with no history. 2) Close the original tab, so I can't easily get back to where I was.
That's a different kind of dysfunction, though. You can address it by copying the link and pasting it in a new tab, or if that's not possible, copying the current page to a new tab and clicking on the link there.
replyI've noticed that on Instagram, too. Absolutely infuriating.
replyIt's a work around to them making changes to deliberately change the expected results of pressing "back"
replyIt's also not a very effective workaround, because some of the websites in question end up spamming multiple instances of their home page in the history stack.
replyYou can usually address this by going back as far as possible, then holding the button again so more of the history shows up. And IME, it's only really broken sites that have this problem in the first place.
replyYes, but that's super annoying and at that point graduates to being a shitty workaround.
