Introducing a new spam policy for "back button hijacking": https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2026/04/back-button-hijacking. If you mess with the back 🔙 button, it's not the growth hack you think it is. I've seen unnamed news sites do this when you navigate to an article page, want to go back to where you came from, but then the back history gets hijacked and you're suddenly on the news site's main landing page.
