--- Comment #16 from Tisza Gergő <[email protected]> --- "I'll update this ticket's description to be the only possible technical change, but I doubt that the product and UX teams will be interested in losing the ability for people to share the image using the browser's URL." That is an entirely different bug/feature request. I moved it to bug 66217. Changing the URL without creating history entries, or removing some of the existing history entries, is entirely possible technically (modern browsers have replaceState; old browsers have location.replace - as long as you limit URL changes to the hash part, the two behave pretty much identically). Facebook does it, as you just said. Whether it is a good idea from a usability point of view is a different issue - one where flinging untested assumptions about user expectations at each other is not going to be productive. Facebook nukes the history; Bing and Flickr keeps it, so obviously neither approach can be a catastrophic failure. (Also, we haven't received many complaints about this so far, which suggests this is not a big problem for most users.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
