chromium bug:http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1919 Code snippet: <html> <head> </head> <body onload="var before = history.length; window.location.replace('#blah'); var after = history.length; if(before != after) alert(before + ' != ' + after); "> <a href="test.html">again..</a> <p/> (also, it seems i need to click twice on the link for it to trigger a reload .. which isn't the case in FF) </body> </html> ..works as expected (does not add history entry) under FF, Opera and IE Nightly tested: r38293

This bug often causes infinite loops (when pressing the back button) on pages that attempt to set a default hash if there is none. if(!location.hash) location.replace('#home');
