I use an android phone (pixel 6a) and my default web browser is Chrome.

When I browse Lemmy through the web app, my chrome history starts to look like the attached picture, with 100s of entries over the past week or so. If I click on any of them it just brings me to my lemmy homepage.

Anyone have a solution for this? Preferably for nothing to show up in the history (similar to browsing in incognito mode), or alternatively for the history to actually reflect the posts that I clicked into?

Or is this the intended behaviour?

    I have wefwef/Voyager installed as an app and my Chrome history is still filled with spam.

      Yeah I have it installed as an app too. Good to know that others are having the same thing happen. I wonder if it’s specific to chrome

        I’m using it installed as an app with Firefox on Android and it also shows pages in history.

        I think this is somewhat expected behavior though, since you are in fact visiting web pages…

        Would it be better if the title updated to reflect what feed/post you were viewing?

        I have IceRaven, a Firefox fork, set as my default browser on my Android. This issue is present using the webapp but in my IceRaven browser history as well. It does make browser history pretty useless, filling the log up without each article actual title.
