Comment on The Independent tries to hijack their reader's swipe meant to leave the site to send them further into it instead

  No, it doesn’t work that way on iOS at all. Swipe from the side of the screen is application-specific.

  Swipe from left is always “go back to where you were previously” or “go back to the main menu of this application.” Swipe from right does nothing unless the application defines it.

  The Independent’s feature might override an iOS browser’s “Forward” feature, if you already used the “Back” feature.
