Ask HN: Why do new browser tabs not include the original tab's history?

6 pointsby svrocksalmost 14 years ago
Why do tabbed browsers not copy over your browsing history when you click on a link to open in a new tab? I often open up a lot of links in new tabs and then am frustrated when I am unable to go back from the newly opened tab.

Requested and summarily executed by the Chrome team: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1639" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1639</a><p>The lack of this feature is WHY shitty experiences like the "digg bar" exist. When you open up a ton of tabs via middle click it's too hard to figure out how you got there, especially if you're returning hours later.

Chrome has almost this, it's called "Duplicate Tab". It does what you'd hope: gets you a new tab which is a copy of the old one including its history.<p>I agree, it would be better if you could combine that with "Open link in new tab", since that's how I always use it.

I've only ever wanted to do this once, I just went back a few times in the original tab and opened a second tab then.
