Startups in 2018

I have written a Chromium plug-in that, upon requesting a web site under the

.io

TLD, instead redirects me to a Russian virus site and downloads Ransomware. Such is the state of Startups in 2k18.

I cannot even trust my back button anymore. Gratuitous overuse of the

history

API should be stopped. Of course, half of the time it's broken, so I click on the link, the URL changes, and nothing happens because there is a

js

error in the 800-LOC function handling state change.
