I initially thought this is for Android.

Which has a long overdue problem of "Tap Back again to exit" type hijacks.

Or feed-based apps (hi Reddit, TikTok, Instagram) refreshing your timeline in hopes you reconsider exiting and keep doomscrolling.

One can only hope…

Same for me! It took me a while staring at the article and wondering why "browser" was mentioned so many times, to realize it was not Android

Was honestly thinking "yeah nice Google, now do it for Android" since the worst offenders are apps (looking at you, Tiktok)
