Good job dude! you save me!

That worked but I don't know what the else is for. For me it seems to be enough with the if part.

Can anyone explain me please ..why we are pushing null before popstate and again we are pushing null

what is jibberish" and 'newjibberish'

I think it is mock data

it does not working browser chrome on ios

so it seems that the code doesn't always work in Chrome, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Anyone has an idea on how to adjust the code to always work in Chrome?

This doesn't seem to work in Chrome , anyone has an idea on how to make this work on Chrome ?
