Suppose that I have 2 pages A and B. On click on a link on A, I redirect my app to page B. This page B just redirects to an App by setting window.location=<web_intent_link> using intents. The problem is that after doing this chrome automatically redirects back to page A. How can I make chrome remain on page B.

How to replicate

Make sure you have Instagram installed
Goto https://namaggarwal.github.io/open_test_links/intent.html
Click on Instagram
It redirects to a different page then opens Instagram while redirecting to original page.

Code is available here

intent.html (A)

<a href="/open_test_links/redirect_insta_intent.html">Instagram</a>

redirect_insta_intent.html (B)

<script type="text/javascript">
      function redirect() {
        window.location = "intent://instagram.com/_u/namaggarwal/#Intent;package=com.instagram.android;scheme=https;end"
      }
      (function(){
        redirect();
      })()
    </script>

Please include relevant code snippets in your question as contents of repositories can change and offsite links may break in the future. – Dragonthoughts Sep 25 '19 at 07:16
In your Activity B, if you use webview, then write this code inside onDestory function - if (webView.canGoBack()){ webView.goBack(); } – Sanwal Singh Sep 25 '19 at 07:23
