Exclude hide/reveal layer from History State?

In Photoshop 20.0.2:

Is there a way to exclude showing or hiding a layer from the History State?

In older versions of Photoshop, I used to revisit the original history state and turn off a layer to see something, and then go back to the current state and do this too, and throughout the History window, for comparison without making a permanent change, but I can't do this anymore.

Now the history state is showing a bunch of hide-reveals. Now I have to make a few snapshots with these off/on layers, then delete. Since I turn off layers and use the history state often, it's kind of nuts. I'd create a history state and delete times a million.

Hi

Click the top right of the history panel to get the drop down menu. Then choose History options and uncheck "Make Layer Visibility Changes Undoable"
