Google says it could penalize back button hijacking by demoting websites in search ranking.

    To be honest, I’m for this change.

    To often have I pressed the back button and not actually gone back to the page I was on before, like I intended.

    I’m all for it as long as its implemented properly. There are plenty of legitimate use cases for history rewriting.

    So if they punish sites for trapping you there, hell yeah. If they demote you for providing a conclusive user experience that would suck alot.

    Penalize them with reduced search prominence? Search is so bad right now that we or the perpetrator may never discover they’ve been penalized.
