This plugin focuses on the industry-standard goal: immediate exit and preventing accidental return via the Back button.<\/p>\n\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>Safety Exit Button does not send data to Clicksmith or any external API.<\/p>\n\n<p>When a visitor activates the Safety Exit button (or the optional ESC shortcut), the plugin opens a new tab to the URL configured by the site administrator (default: https:\/\/www.google.com), attempts to close the current tab, and falls back to redirecting the current tab if the browser blocks tab closing. This navigation happens in the visitor's browser.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you keep the default redirect, the visitor will load Google in their browser:\n* Terms: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/terms\n* Privacy: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/p>\n\n<p>If you change the redirect to another website (for example, weather.com), that third-party website's own terms and privacy policy will apply.<\/p>\n\n<h3>More from Clicksmith<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Plugin page: https:\/\/clicksmith.net\/custom-wordpress-plugins\/safety-exit-button-quick-exit\/<\/li>\n<li>More free WordPress plugins: https:\/\/clicksmith.net\/custom-wordpress-plugins\/<\/li>\n<li>Donate to support development: https:\/\/portal.clicksmith.net\/donate\/safety-exit-wordpress<\/li>\n<li>Clicksmith website: https:\/\/clicksmith.net\/<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the plugin ZIP in WordPress: Plugins &gt; Add New &gt; Upload Plugin.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin.<\/li>\n<li>Go to Safety Exit Button in the WordPress admin menu to configure the redirect URL, position, and style.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"does%20this%20remove%20the%20site%20from%20browser%20history%3F\"><h3>Does this remove the site from browser history?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. Browsers control History.
