            Bug ID: 223190
           Summary: Consider ignoring the title argument to
                    history.pushState()/history.replaceState()
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: History
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Only Safari (maybe other WebKit browsers?) uses this for its UI. Since it only impacts UI, and only in one browser, it was removed from the spec in https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/6482.

Continuing to support title for these functions is not a spec violation, since browser UI is outside the scope of specs (i.e. web pages cannot observe Safari's use of the title argument). But, you might want to clean it up regardless. Especially if web developers only test in other browsers, and so pass strange values (e.g. "null" or similar) which Safari ends up displaying to users.
