<h1>Browser History API Demonstration</h1>
<p>
The script on this page can see the number of pages in your
<strong>current tab's session history</strong>.
</p>
<h2>Number of pages in this tab's session: <span id="history-length"></span></h2>
<p class="warning">
NOTICE: This script CANNOT see the actual URLs of the pages you have visited.
<br>
Accessing that information is blocked by the browser for your privacy.
</p>
<button onclick="history.back()">Go Back</button>
<script>
// Get the element where we will display the history length
const historyLengthElement = document.getElementById('history-length');
// Access the history.length property and display it
// This is SAFE and does not reveal any private information.
historyLengthElement.textContent = window.history.length;
// The following code is IMPOSSIBLE and will NOT work.
// It is just an example of what browsers prevent.
/*
for (let i = 0; i < history.length; i++) {
// This line would cause a security error if it were possible.
// You CANNOT get the URL from a history entry.
console.log(history.item(i)); // This doesn't exist
console.log(history[i]); // This doesn't work
}
