Description

image
^ The previous page I was on was that Stack Overflow page. Following a link on it to the playground added four entries to my history. To go back to SO, I had to press back five times. Yes, five. It appears that while attempting to navigate backwards, yet another one gets added on.

This feels... unnecessary.
