Description
Sites which use the JS history API for navigation do not cause entries to appear in QB's history, only the initially loaded page will be present.

@jgkamat thinks this behavior changed here: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/pull/4723/files#diff-f8b824a00e288dfd556db4ce56a7008fR1527

How to reproduce
Visit https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser and click on any file. The new URL will not appear in history.
