Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The id is a unique, UA-generated value that always represents the history entry, useful to correlate a history entry with an external resource such as a storage cache.

js
navigation.addEventListener("navigate", (event) => {
  console.log(event.destination.id);
