Exactly. It’s so annoying when developers think they know better how a user should use their browser than the user does, at least that’s an optimistic interpretation of it. The other interpretation is that they just don’t want users to actually use their browser in any way that gets them off the page.

Sorry for that it was just a miss-use of <Navigate> component in React, and some lack of testing for the back button.

I'm working to fix it ASAP ;) !

I think the optimistic interpretation in 2024 is that the developer is using some Byzantine frontend framework they don't fully understand.
