Comment on Why is End of Life of an OS bad for an average user?
limerod@reddthat.com 3 months agoCan you elaborate more about this “harmless history stealing” bit and how did you find it? Also, was the OS outdated in your case?
Like a sane person I use a system wide adblocker (Adguard) and unlock-origin in firefox. I also disable 3rd party iframes by default to reduce the crap being loaded by default on all my devices.

I meant that thing where it redirects you to another site and makes it impossible to go back to the site you were on.

Hmm, I thought modern day browsers had protection against redirect and history poisoning attacks. Guess not in all.
