I remember a long time ago complaining about a shitty pattern like this (specifically, bombing your history by artificially making a shitload of redirects and thus making the back button useless. Probably the old school way to do this shit). Back then I was told by web devs "this is how the web works, you can't have a browser detect and block this!".
Fuck that.
That doesn't sound like a web developer but like a web destroyer.
Nope. The old-school way to do it worked perfectly and didn't do any of that crap.
