The new functionality that prevents history from being added on automatic redirects also causes problems for some use cases, where it is desired to have those entries be made.

Steps to reproduce:
Use javascript to forward yourself to a new page without interacting with the page yourself. This can be done with greasemonkey or the browser console.
Actual results:
It did not add it to the back button, making it harder to navigate back.
Expected results:
It would be preferable if it was added to the back button, allowing my to navigate back if I need to.
I understand why the functionality was changed, but it would be nice to have it as an option we can toggle, as currently it is more of an inconvenience than anything for my own use case (opening pages in new tabs on a art auctioning site, clicking on a link automatically, verifying things work as they should, and then going back to make adjustments to the page if need be).
So ultimately, my request is if this can be turned into a toggle in a future update so that old functionality could be restored.
