Back and Forward of the Router from next/navigation Doesn't Trigger the Guard / app router

[abdullah-bahraq]

When using the useRouter from the next/navigation, navigation through the browser's back and forward buttons does not trigger the navigation guard

however it's working fine with Lniks and router.refersh

Thanks in advance!

**Environment:**
Next.js Version: 14.1.1
Node.js Version: 22.11.0
Browser: google chrome_

I confirm the same issue:

Chrome: 131.0.6778.267 
next-navigation-guard: 0.1.2

I'm experiencing a similar issue, where browser's back and forward buttons mostly don't trigger the guard prompt. But in one instance it did, and not sure what was different.

Yes, I can confirm from my testing today that it does work in some cases (the URL changes, but the alert message triggers and if I click Cancel then routing is reverted and my state is intact) - but it doesn't work in some others... I wasn't able to find a pattern though :(

It should be investigated, but reproduction repo / codesandbox is very welcomed 🙏

Also does not work for me with browser navigation
