Updating tab url while still conserving history chrome extension

I am making a chrome extension that redirects you from a youtube short to the actual video, and when you get redirected you can't go back to your previous page. Can anyone help? Here is my background.js code:

let enabled = true

chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function (tabId, changeInfo, tab) {
    if (tab.url.startsWith("https://www.youtube.com/shorts") && enabled) {
        chrome.tabs.query({active: true, currentWindow: true}, function(tabs) {
            var activeTab = tabs[0]
            chrome.tabs.update(activeTab.id, { url: activeTab.url.replace("shorts/", "watch?v=") });
        })
    }
});
