Skip chrome history

[csm10495]

On Android, is there a way to make it so everything browsed in wefwef doesn't show up in Chrome history?

I like the idea of it being it's own isolated app as opposed to polluting my chrome history.

If you add to homescreen, does it show up in history?

[csm10495]

Yep, still does (which surprised me)

After tapping around a bit, chrome history looks like ^

Hmmm. I'm not sure why that's happening, or if there's a good way to prevent it. I don't think it's a wefwef bug, however.

I'd love to hear what anyone more familiar with android PWAs has to say on this.

Could it be due to web scraping it shows up on your browser history?

This is an Android quirk. Worth noting that this does not happen on iOS.

Currently, there isn't a direct way to prevent wefwef browsing from appearing in Chrome history on Android. However, one workaround could be to use a separate browser solely for wefwef, keeping your Chrome history clean.
