Pages with Youtube embeds mess up the browser history
Discussion
Just noticed this. Checked in FF and Edge.
If a page of a thread has Youtube videos embedded in it, it adds the page URL into the browser history, I think it's doing it once for each embed. Meaning you cannot use the browser back button to get back to the page of the forum you were on.
For example, go to the Music forum. Go back a few pages and find the thread "Tunes that explode from nowhere". Scroll down through that thread. Your browser history is now full of the URL of that page and you cannot click back to where you came from.

Not on Firefox.
But on Chromium, when I create a new tab and paste this link in https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&... it creates the same page ten times in the back button history. At the same time, there were ten videos embedded into that page.
