alt Hacker NewsThis seems like a good time to advertise the post/redirect/get pattern.

Not strictly about hijacking back navigation but it can make experience less bumpy if you've got form submissions in the middle of the path.

TIL that this (or rather, the lack of this) is why some pages show that annoying "do you want to resubmit your post" notification, but not others, and the name for it. Thank you!
I'm a huge fan of this pattern (and as a greybeard). I honestly wonder if people think about such things this day and age where everything is react.
