Starting in June, Google will take a firm stance against back button hijacking, labeling it a malicious practice. This technique is frequently employed by websites that depend heavily on search traffic to boost pageviews. When users attempt to navigate back, they are often redirected to pages filled with additional content suggestions or pop-ups instead of returning to their previous page. This deceptive practice not only frustrates users but also undermines their browsing experience. Notably, platforms like LinkedIn have been criticized for sending users back to their social feed after clicking on links to profiles or job postings. Google's new policy aims to enhance user experience by discouraging such tactics.
