Ha! So a lot of us have that strange problem! :) And I hate it too when websites do funky pop-up stuff on text selection. But somehow, I don't see that problem on this website. Which browser are you using?

I see this on Firefox on Win10. And you have to hit the back button twice to go back, which happens on a lot of Microsoft sites.

Edit: looks like it's being served from fyre.co, which might be blocked by adblockers?

Could browsers not be smarter about this? If I'm on page A and I click a link X that redirects to B, when I click back I expect to go back to A, especially if X still redirects to B.

Browsers are already smart about that, but they also allow websites to override it, which is kind of important too. And then they can mess it up.

Strange. I'm using Firefox on Win7 here, but it shouldn't have been Windows difference. Will check when I go home where I have Win10.

Oh, I found out - I was looking at a following link from the original page (https://docs.microsoft.com) - which didn't have the problem. It's there on the HN linked page. These days I fix all of these annoying pages using uBlock Origin's "Element Picker mode" and hiding them.
