Very few people want to have a probabilistic back button where sometimes it works and sometimes you have to hold it down to go “deep back”. We complain about history pollution all the time on HN which is what your proposal would amount to, and it would be very confusing for most people.
On mobile, it’s not obvious where you’d stuff power user UI for redirect chain analysis. On desktop, you can keep devtools open or even create a browser extension with the exact UX that you want for this.
- OJFord 6y agoIf the page is temporarily redirecting, that's already being experienced? Also, the status quo is that history is polluted by bad behaviour and (or including) non-HTTP redirects. Excluding HTTP redirects from history does nothing to fix that, just makes it worse really: I don't think misbehaving sites doing things that shouldn't be in history are bothering with 302s.
