Hello,  
When including pvglance to an iframe (loading data automatically via URLs) I have trouble managing the behaviour of the back button of the web browser, see for instance

https://codepen.io/Briffou/embed/preview/rNyEMwq?default-tabs=html%2Cresult&height=300&host=https%3A%2F%2Fcodepen.io&slug-hash=rNyEMwq

Clicking the back button of the web browser go back to the landing page of paraview glance, which I don’t want (In fact, the landing page is “useless” for us, as we always load data via URLs).  
Is there a simple way to:

1. Disable landing page or
2. Prevent pvglance from adding an entry to browser history

Thanks !

We can add a startup option to Glance to disable the landing page, which should help resolve this issue. I will update this thread when this is done.

Check out [Add setting to disable history routing by floryst · Pull Request #395 · Kitware/paraview-glance · GitHub](https://github.com/Kitware/paraview-glance/pull/395). I opted to instead add a mechanism to disable the browser history aspect. Once that PR goes in, you will be able to add a URL parameter `setting.noHistory=true`.
