I miss Discourse

Take a look at the conversation following my very first post on these forums, back in the early Discourse days:

There's a user option in your profile to minimize that issue.

Oh, that's nice, actually.
I guess I'll keep this account for browsing the forums, then.So I enabled that option and my history was clean and sane ever since.
Until we switched to NodeBB.
Now, my history is once again a spamfest of WTDWTF posts, and there's no option to turn it off.
Not even pagination turns this off!I was outraged enough at the Discourse spam to actually join this community, but it looks like I grew complacent since, possibly due to the toxins released by all javascript-based servers...
Well no more! This will no longer stand!How do I turn this misfeature off?!
Who do I blame for this?!

I run the forum in incognito. Bit of a hacky solution but it keeps the pages out of my history

@xaade Extensions...
I don't know about Chrome, but in Firefox you can right-click any entry in history and select "Forget About This Site".
In any case this is a terrible workaround because — I assume — you lose your session and cache.

I don't want to remove WTDWTF from my history entirely - then I wouldn't remember I was ever here.
I want 1 history entry per topic or topic page, so I can remember I was here but also have room to remember other places I've been in.I suppose one could perhaps make an extension that replaces NodeBB history entries with "topic/page-normalized" ones and removes duplicates...
Still, needing to install and/or write an extension just to use a forum comfortably? What fun!

Seems to me NudeBabe calls history.replaceState() and not history.pushState().
The thing is, calling replaceState() does not remove the previous entry from global history, even though it replaces it on the current tab's entry stack.
I've just tested this on Firefox and Chrome.
Edit: the name of the method is replaceState, not replaceHistory, after all.

And you're surprised...why?
