replaceState() and pushState(): What is global browser history?

history.replaceState() operates exactly like history.pushState() except that replaceState() modifies the current history entry instead of creating a new one. Note that this doesn't prevent the creation of a new entry in the global browser history.

Can anyone explain what is global browser history? how is it different from the normal browser history?

It means history.replaceState() could add an entry in your browser history (Ctrl+H on most browsers), though it won't add an entry to current history (i.e. browser back button behaviour)
