You know those back button-hijacking sites? Especially noticing this on mobile.

"Back button hijacking interferes with the browser's functionality, breaks the expected user journey, and results in user frustration."

Nice to see Google do something about this. Even if you don't use their search, this will still deter people from doing this.

A small victory for the web.

The fact that #iOS26 no longer displays the title of the previous view controller in the #backButton makes me crazy! 😤
And there are also the #barButtonItems who jitters every time they are updated in the navigation bar which unnecessarily attracts the eye. 😑
#UINavigationController
