title: Adding a page to the history in a Chrome extension
body: <p>I was wondering if it was possible to have a Google Chrome extension have sort of a hidden tab, that is directed to an inputted URL. For example, if I wanted to go to www.google.com then in the background the tab's URL would be www.google.com. The only way you could verify this is by checking your browsing history. Is this possible? Are there other ways to approach this? </p>
  
  <p>My goal is to basically go to a URL and add it to the history, but keep this process hidden from the user.</p>
