When you click links it changes the URL, so the back button takes you to the previous URL.

I absolutely hate when pages hijack the back button, but this ain’t it.

I mean, it’s not a dark pattern hijacking the back button, it’s a bug hijacking the back button.

It’s still a bad experience, though.

It's not hijacking back like it happens with some sites that redirect and such. It's just pushing each color into history.
