Comment on Redirect to prevent back button

Yeah, I get it, but like…the same could be said for emails in a world where phishing exists.

I don’t think that email and browser history are similar enough to make a meaningful comparison, honestly.
Maybe someone could say that, but I am not.
I see a specific instance of a specific bad feature being specifically abused. I don’t care to entertain whatabouts.

It’s not a whatabout, but since you have your mind made up, by all means don’t let me get in your way with facts.

I don’t think I’m disputing your facts, I was responding to the scenario you presented which was, essentially, “what about email”. I would say it’s fair that my opinion on a canonical browser history is solid and unlikely to change, though.
