Is there a way to prevent browsers from jumping to other pages.
I am developing a program. I want users to use the address bar to jump with my consent. If not, I will stop the jump.
Is this possible?
I need your advice. Thank you very much

No, this is not possible. Ultimately the browsers belong to the users, so they can do what they want. – Pointy Mar 23 '20 at 03:47

You could probably run a script using the onunload event. I'm not sure I'd recommend it, because it is really annoying the user, though. – JeffryHouser Mar 23 '20 at 03:58

If you want to display a warning or similar before jumping to another page, you could use onclick functions on all of your links, display a popup with a message, and an "abort" and "continue'" button, and then redirect the user if she clicks continue.
