>Allowing sites to intercept browser actions that should make a user leave the site, and inject other operations is obviously and plainly a security issue.

Sure, I agree. But what does it have to do with the parent comment's claim?

I've read much of the discussions involving the early push for HTTPS, and the developers involved were very fastidious.

The point is that google should be penalizing sites that do that in search results, or at least in chrome with some kind of browser recognition - as the OP states in the article.

They should do more than penalize them in search. They should add them to their malicious site list.
