> This seems like such a contrived scenario with a solution that only works for gov uk sites. Why not teach users how to switch or close tabs with keyboard shortcuts?

+1. "Close tab" is more robust, well-supported and well-known.

It seems more likely a user will load an inoccuous page as a decoy, than learn triple-shift is a quick exit.

Still, interesting read, to hear the reasoning. Would like to see empirical evidence/user testing.
