Thanks, but I thought we were talking about some user option, since at least some people said they don't like what other browsers do?
I'll wait to see if James has anything to say about this patch, but my understanding was that his problem was that the first version of my patch *didn't* work like other browsers, and he wanted something closer to that.
I don't mind adding an option though, once we have an idea of what options we'd want to support. One simple way might be to add some option like 'eww-history-replacement-function' (name suggestions welcome), which runs any time the user is at a historical page and navigates to a new one. This would default to the hypothetical function 'eww-history-delete-future' and do what my latest patch does. Then users can write their own functions to modify the behavior.
It would also be nice to have an option like the Emacs 29 behavior, but with the bug in my original report still fixed. I'm not sure exactly the best implementation for this yet though...
