Click a link and need to go back 10x to get back. Yes, I enjoy the footballs.

Reddit has been doing this when I click a result from a Google search (yeah, sometimes you have to)

It’s fucking annoying and I hope whatever JavaScript trick lets them do this gets blocked

I use a Firefox based browser and this hasn't happened to me, are you using Chromium or Safari? Could be a browser specific issue

Firefox. I'm fairly convinced it's something to do with UBO or one of the blocklists but I've never taken the time to dig into it properly.
