some websites blocking back button navigation in browser

recently i am finding many websites are tricking visitors not to navigate away from the website or webpage by disabling or overriding back button recently i landed up in website which offers mp3 downloads but when i did not find needed in that page when i clicked back button in the browser it was weirdly disallowing me to navigate back though i experienced this type many times but clicking back button twice or continuously for a while i was able to navigate away but this website called clip.dj was appending # at end of URL and overriding back key of browser.

below pic shows that website is automatically overriding back button by appending "#" to the same webpage URL thus making us stay on same webpage

Though sometimes it would be a legitimate redirect issue such as when you was redirected by login or some kind of transaction based navigation but if it was just a normal "search engine to website" or "webiste to website hop" and you cannot still hop back then the present website is intentionally holding you back.

So if you are stuck and you want the search engine result of the previous page then don't worry just click on the history menu from the browser and click on the previous link you came from if you know any other tip or trick to overcome this do share it here

Though i am sure its not a browser issue since i have checked this website(ex clip.dj) on IE, Chrome and firefox which is exhibiting same behavior of disabling browser back button i guess the admin/owner of the website is intentionally doing this.

how to download Facebook videos ? working solution

I recently wanted to download a video posted on Facebook when i googled i stumbled across many links on how to download youtube videos but most of the technique or tips such as scripts, extensions and tools i found was either obsolete or not working for some reason and was very complicated which requires accessing third party websites etc and after a a lot of tries and using addons i found few methods/tools which indeed helped me in downloading the Facebook video clips directly instead of redirects and complicated methods, so thought of sharing these tips i found with you guys

Video Download Helper
If you are using Mozilla firefox then Downloader Helper is a must have tool this extension is developed by third party you can find it in the Mozilla official website deck and can be installed depending on your mozilla firefox version.

Download helper not only rips facebook videos but can download videos from various social networking and web portals such as youtube, vimeo, personal sites, and other organizational websites.

Once the addon is installed and firefox is restarted if the webpage contains any video played the download helper icon near address bar automatically start animating and when you click on the drop down list you can see the list of downloadable video's as shown in below pic.

Firefox and Google Chrome Cache viewer

This is being my favourite type of video rip off trick, from last few years now this trick allows to download almost 90% of videos and audios found on the net, the trick is browsers always download a copy of videos into its cache because if user replays video it does not want to download again from the net this comes very handy because browsers save this downloaded video in form of cache until a specified amount of time say few hours to a day, there are lot of cache viewer plugins and tools that can view and download this content from cache such as audio, video, image, documents etc from browsers such as Firefox, chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera etc, below is the pic of cache viewer of mozilla firefox

you can install this cache viewer as an addon or download it Here seperately for a specific browser.

Though there are many other tricks to download video from Facebook and other website's such as giving link in some portals and running grease monkey scripts from Firefox i found above two techniques to be easy and non complicated if you know any other easy way of doing do let me know.
