@foone what on earth were they even trying to accomplish here??? like, I know there were some nightmarishly bad java "web"frameworks back in the bad old days, but what the fuck???

@foone maybe I should sue them for abusing my company's name xD

@foone they actually hijack the back button functionality throughout the site. It’s really infuriating.

For security theater purposes, I think they mean.

This is just their way of telling you to open every link on their site in a new tab.

@foone bank site in any country:

foone OP , vor 2 Monaten

you know back in 2009 or so I did an experiment where I made a site that was designed to not be linkable. Like, every page used encrypted POST query strings to the same URL, so it was impossible to link into it, only to the front page. a friend said it was the worst thing they'd ever seen

and even that abomination didn't intentionally break the back button!

@foone now considering building a linkfarm site, but back button takes you to new random page in it

dragonarchitect , vor 2 Monaten

@foone That is indeed an entirely cursed thing, and yet, it totally respects the basic UI that we as users are given, which gets a pass.

foone OP , vor 2 Monaten

The hard mode of that site: no js was used

@foone My bank's website logs you out when you click the back button. I have a mouse with the back button. My muscle memory prevents me to be logged in in my bank for more than 5 minutes.

@foone You would get a warning any time you used the back, forward or reload button though.

Not gloating though, I once made a shitpost website with actual stripe integration without properly knowing how postbacks worked, or enough math to make an "add payment fees to total" checkbox work.

@foone probably some arcane regulatory reason for this.
