This is a submission for DEV Challenge v24.03.20, One Byte Explainer: Browser API or Feature.

Explainer

Move back and forward between your page history! All you need is access to the window global object then callhistory.forward() orhistory.back(), but you can also jump to a specific index withhistory.go(2), usehistory.length to see the total of entries.

Additional Context

I picked this one for the challenge because I knew it would not be very complex to write in a tutorial format. I usedMDN as reference andcharactercountonline to count the characters while composing the text.

I hope this packs enough info to actually help you learn about the history API, it is indeed that simple.
