Constantly updated permalink in URL bar (hash style) spams browsing history in Firefox #4942
Comments
Author: TomH It only spams the global history - it does not affect the local history as used by the back/forward buttons. The spamming of the global history was considered at length during the development of this feature and was decided not to be a significant problem. |
Author: aseerel4c26 I was nearly sure that I had seen the many entries also in the back button drop down. However, I cannot reproduce that now. Re. spam in the browser history: not nice, though. What about making that spamming optional? I like to navigate back several page - the "History" menu of Firefox offers that with two clicks... now not anymore. Furthermore the history of a day of browsing osm.org maps gets full... really spammy. Other pages are pushed away in the history. What about a checkbox in the share menu ("enable auto-permalink")? This could get filled by a user setting (for logged-in users). |
Author: lonvia Try this Greasemonkey script if you don't like the history spamming: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/175199 |
Author: aseerel4c26 Thanks lonvia! I have use misused [http://hackademix.net/2011/09/29/script-surrogates-quick-reference/ NoScript's surrogate scripts] for that. Works.

Author: aseerel4c26 That patch does not work for edit mode (Potlatch2). Does someone have a snippet for this? |
Author: aseerel4c26 The workaround does not work anymore.
And the page's JS code is minified ... Could not find out a new EventListener or something |
Author: aseerel4c26 Still a problem (with no workaround currently). Not every single map drag is a navigation action which would justify the cluttering of the user's browsing history. |
Author: mmd Duplicate of openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website#506, closing here. |

Constantly updated permalink in URL bar (hash style) spams browsing history in Firefox. I don't like that. E.g. navigating back using the back button is impossible after you did a few drags and zooms. There IS already the "share" menu (by the way: why do I need to use "share" if I just want to do a bookmark for myself ?)
