How to make `goBack()` method of history to ignore hash (#)?

I have some routes that are using /routename#somefilter. This is not a completely different route, it's just a filter flag we use.

However, whenever I access /routename#somefilter and click on the back button in our app, it goes back to /routename instead of an actual previous route (e.g. I came from /anotherroutename before going to /routename).

How do I make history from react-router ignore the hash routes? I am using useHistory() hook by the way.

Instead of doing history.push use history.replace to update url. history.push add new entry to router history, so if you use history.replace, current entry in history.
