Hey, fast-try/illacloud,

I know this is petty, but, if you mess with history and make it impossible for me to back out of your web page (by clicking the back button), I will immediately assume you are a untrustworthy company, and I will never return later to make an account.

I hate this practice, it's rude, it shows contempt for your users (in this case future-users), and its one of the many dark UI patterns that is ruining the modern web.

Please don't do it.

I agree. But I think most of the time it’s not malice, just website design not being a core skill of the team. Nevertheless, it does send a signal like many a dark pattern.

Sorry—many sites have that as a 'feature'. Thank you for responding and fixing.
