If I want to research a subject I can go from page to page, link to link and glean information from many and various sources. Something of a bummer when one bumps into a dead end.

I suggest that marketing scum have taken control from webmasters. They want their site to be all-inclusive and employ ever sleazier ways to keep one there including pretending that the rest of the net doesn't exist. I occasionally run into sites that disable the back button making it impossible to leave the site unless one closes the tab/window.
