One trick for the “back button doesn’t work” is to right click it and select the page you want to go back to from that list.

Though I do wish back buttons worked on clicks rather than loads or anything a site can override with javascript. I hate the sites that treat scrolling to the next article as a new page. It trains me to not scroll to the next one, even if it looks interesting, because they fuck with my browser like that (even though I can work around it, fuck them for the attempt).

After using window.location.replace(url); the current page will not be saved in session history, meaning the user won’t be able to use the Back button to navigate to it.

I also hate how some sites block middle mouse clicks or ctrl+click, which opens a new tab. So I’m forced to follow the stupid link then either middle click the back button, or right click back - open in new tab

The other day I found one that I’m pretty sure somehow removed the earlier entries from the back button list.

  Like removed them removed them or just filled it up with spam “clicks”?
  
  Second one is annoying and shouldn’t be possible but first one is concerning and really shouldn’t be possible. Makes me wonder if there’s a way to access the links in the back list via js. What browser btw?
