Incorrect behaviour on Settings page when navigated through More Tools -> Clear browsing data

Reported by samarth....@gmail.com, May 15 2016 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.94 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to More Tools  -> Clear browsing data
2. "Clear browsing Data" window opens up in the settings shell(page).
3. Click Cancel or Clear-Browsing-data button.
4. Press browser's back button.

What is the expected behavior?
Browser's back button should be disabled, while user is on the settings page.

What went wrong?
Upon pressing the back button, the "Clear browsing history" window reappears. 

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 50.0.2661.94  Channel: n/a
OS Version: OS X 10.11.3
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

The "steps to reproduce" forms a cycle as long as the user is on the settings page.

Thanks for your report. That is sort of strange. On a technical level, chrome://settings/clearBrowsingData is "navigating to" chrome://settings, and so Back undoes that navigation. Disabling Back for just that transition seems sort of awkward, since there are other situations where users might want to back to/from the Settings UI.

Tagging this UI>Settings for triage and marking for Windows/Linux also.

This is probably WAI. btw, the correct URL is chrome://settings-frame/clearBrowserData

Settings usually opens in a new tab anyway, so the back button isn't super useful outside of navigating backwards through the dialogs opened (the WAI part).

However, it's something we'll consider in the routing for MD Settings.

We're planning to keep the ability to use the browser's back/forward buttons to navigate through Settings.
