auto-redirecting page is skipped by Chrome history

Question

I have a webpage url1 that will do auto-redirecting to url2 with window.location.href. However, when I click "back" button on Chrome, I am redirected to the page before url1, url1 is skipped. But I can still back to url1 by window.history.back(). This problem doesn't happen in FireFox. Any help?

Answer 1

It's Chrome feature since Chrome 75, named History manipulation intervention. History without a user interaction will be skipped when a user hits Chrome back button.
