browsing backwards and forwards with a (smart) phone

[saaby93]

How do you do it?

Running PH on a laptop it's easy to go back a page and then forward again to where you were using either the two arrows at the top of the browser or the two keys next to the cursor keys on the keyboard
How do you go back and for on a smartphone?
Ok theres a back button but is there a secret 2 finger mode?

Swipe left or right?
Works on mine.

Does chrome on Android have swipe to go back and forwards? I find it annoying that you have to reach down and hit the back button and then reach up to the menu button to find forward. Swipe back/forth like on iPhone is so much better.

Wasn't the swiping to switch between tabs?
Anyway, the back button is easy to use, I really miss it when using an iDevice. The forward I actually never use (unless I pressed back one too many times ), so I'm not too bothered that it's in the menu.

On boat if you swipe left it brings up a control panel which has two blue boxes on the right hand side, this brings the toolbar onto the screen which has the forward and back buttons, or you can just swipe left and use them on the control panel without the toolbar being on the screen.

Out of interest, which two buttons next to the cursor keys on the keyboard?

Also, I have thumb buttons on my mouse for going back and forward.</lazygit>

These

Doesnt everyone have them
They work the same as the back and forward arrows in the browser, but save you having to use the mouse

[mojitomax]

ios - swipe left and right

Oh. I've just noticed I have some at the top of the keyboard.

I prefer using the thumb buttons on my mouse.
