The concern with Esc is that if you hit more than 3 times the user will be stuck on the page. The first 3 presses would trigger the redirect, the 4th press would be intercepted by the browser and stop the page load.
Ctrl+W or middle click on tab isn't that far off The point of shift x3 is that it's consistent across keyboard layouts including laptops. I have a laptop where the location of the ctrl key is moved inward to make room for the function key. I frequently hit Fn instead of Ctrl and don't realize what's happening until I look at my keyboard. And that's not when I'm in distress. Same goes for middle click. It's not a consistent interaction. On some laptops you can left click and right click to get a middle click. On my laptop, it's a three finger tap.
Never mind that computers and internet access is ubiquitous enough these days that "using the family computer" for this sort of thing isn't really needed in the first place.

Nothing about this prevents private windows or Ctrl+W (assuming they have another window open so it doesn't look suspicious that they're staring at a blank desktop), it just gives victims a quick action they can take to prevent immediate retaliation.
I think how Steam handles game rankings is a good example of this. They separate out "All Reviews" from "Recent Reviews". Helps identify current reception of a game which may have had a buggy release.

The two halves of the mold are put back together and the concrete is poured into the bottom. Once it's set, the mold is removed and the result is once piece. Here's a good video from Tested on the process (not with concrete) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEVi0mEaJJQ
According to the first article, the code was hosted with a custom version of Gitlab, with the register link still functioning. Once an account was created all the repos were public. If that's true, then it's a public site being accessed through features of the site.
Vim does have support for mouse usage (depending on the terminal)[0]. You can add the following to your config:
