We’re in 2019 and there is still some websites that mess with the browser history and break the back button. (iOS/safari)

It‘s not decreasing it‘s increasingand i think it‘s completely intentional. Happens more and more on sites with content designed to be shared.

Browsers should start punishing captive traps. There are valid use cases for SPA redirects without user interaction, much like how HTTP redirects ("Location: ") work, but... abuse should be dealt with.

The browsers should just fix it. Clicking back should skip over all those pages in the back-stack that I didn’t interact with.
