Thanks, but I'm afraid it's somewhat confusing:

This doesn't really explain the nature of the change in behavior.
AFAIU, the previous behavior was that going back in browsing history
could add the old entries to the history instead of removing them; now
going back will _never_ add entries to the history.  Isn't that so?
