I've been working in full stack for long enough to know that history manipulation is as much a part of the modern web as images and email. I'm not trying to be flippant, that's just the state of the modern web. Single-page apps are here, and that's a good thing. They're being used badly, and that's endemic to all features. So no, history manipulation is not "bad functionality," though I admit it's not fully baked in its current implementation.

[-] ggppjj@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I accept that it's how things are, I just personally feel as though the only way this feature could ever work as it does now is with the implementation it has now, and that the convenience of single page webapps that use history manipulation is not worth the insane annoyance of helping my grandma get out of websites that tell her that she has been hacked by the FBI.

Yeah, I get it, but like...the same could be said for emails in a world where phishing exists.

[-] ggppjj@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I don't think that email and browser history are similar enough to make a meaningful comparison, honestly.

Maybe someone could say that, but I am not.

I see a specific instance of a specific bad feature being specifically abused. I don't care to entertain whatabouts.

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

It's not a whatabout, but since you have your mind made up, by all means don't let me get in your way with facts.

[-] ggppjj@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I don't think I'm disputing your facts, I was responding to the scenario you presented which was, essentially, "what about email". I would say it's fair that my opinion on a canonical browser history is solid and unlikely to change, though.
