       | Booking.com and hijacked my back button.

         | reputable site.

           | A ton of news websites do this now, navigating to a "Before
           | you go..." page when you hit the back button. I've always
           | suspected this kind of behavior has a lot to do with why
           | people don't read articles anymore. You know what you're
           | getting when you open a comment section on Reddit, Hacker
           | News, or Twitter. The majority of other websites are going to
           | be borderline impossible to view on mobile.

             | Chrome with JS disabled works good enough for me on mobile.
             | It's also easy to whitelist specific sites. But mostly, if
             | I get a blank page I just go back.

         | That is extremely interesting. Booking.com is driving _a lot_
         | of traffic, as I have outlined previously on HN:

       | There's something poetically sad about this.

         | make it through the locked gates and avoid being seen by
         | security.

           | It's the same in ... well at least some of the continental
           | states. Georgia for sure has mandated public access (mostly)
           | and the beaches cannot be privately owned, specifically up to
           | the high watermark. We used to use this to swim over and surf
           | on Sea Island ... much to the chagrin of their rent-a-cops!

         | It's basically a small Army base adjacent to most of the beach
         | so that's why you can't park there. There's some public parking
         | at the public access area at the south end. If you owned a
         | house that was up against a private beach, I doubt you'd let
         | people park in your driveway or cut through your yard to access
         | it.

         | Imagine a "tour guide" focused on their own culture.
