Microsoft and Apple are not alone in doing this but they do seem particularly inept at polluting browser history:
- Search for something
- Click an Apple or Microsoft search result
- Oh, not what I want, no matter, I’ll just hit Back
…except now one additional History state seems to be 3 to 5 states, so it’s Back, Back, Back we have to go :/
And it has to be in quick succession before some sodding JavaScript process has time to kick in and dump more states in there
