History being kept of embedded(?) things #3

I'm finding that history is being kept for certain things, even after closing the tab they were viewed in. I want to say these are embedded things, but I'm not sure if that's the correct terminology. Two examples that I personally encountered are:

  1. Clicking on a tweet on twitter. You know where it pops up and you can see all the replies. The URL of that tweet is kept in my history
  2. I use the reddit extension RES, which lets me expand any image post and zoom in without actually having to click on the post or open the image in a new tab. Doing this is keeping either the image URL or direct post URL in my history

I am not sure if related but recently closed tabs also seem to be kept. This is very strange because they sometimes appear in the history list, and sometimes do not. Also, if they do appear and you try to restore them with Ctrl+Shirt+T, they are restored in a wrong order.

@vizualize Sorry for the delay. I'll investigate this.

@tomasz1986 This is due to changes in Chrome. I've just released a new version that allows users to revert back to the old method of disabling history. But note that the old method causes issues with the back/forward navigation functionality in Chromium 67+. This release is currently under review by Google.

I am using Chromium 69 right now and strangely enough the back/forward navigation seems to be working again with the legacy method 😲. Could anyone else confirm?
