Your website hijacks the "Back" button (e.g., when I press CMD+[). That's a big no.

My apologies, this is not intentional, just has been an issue I have had always forgotten about. I'll take another look at it now.

Thanks for reminding me.

Update: Fixed. (Expected this to require a rewrite but... it was just a matter of passing one option to react-router.)

It still hijacks back button on Brave/Chrome.

Have you tried clearing cache? (I've configured the server to be a bit more aggressive about caching to improve load speeds, but JS bundle updates should be available instantly.)

I've just tested on Chromium 118.0.5993.70, Firefox 118.0.2 and Safari (iOS 17.0.3) and the issue seems to be gone.

Back button works for me on Firefox 118.0.2 (Linux). Posting because the other guy might not respond, I think the bug made him a little mad.
