    Back and Forward Buttons in Edge - dropdown list


    In previous versions of IE, there has always been a way to access the recent pages you visited by using the back and forward buttons. By seeing a list of the pages, you could then select the specific one you wanted to go to instead of clicking through one page at a time until you finally reached your destination. I find this function extremely valuable and use it constantly.

    I have not been able to find the same functionality in Windows Edge yet, and my search on the internet has not found any information about this issue. Is this function not possibly any longer? Has there been any discussion of Windows bringing it to Edge? If not, it is almost a deal breaker for me. *Sad

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Edge Browser History

    This is not a 'story problem' in spite of the presence of a troll. The Edge browser history does not display for many users.

    In my case, it comes and goes. I never know when the history function will appear or not.

    It is extremely frustrating and annoying. Worse yet there doesn't seem to be a fix for the bug.

    It makes using Edge irritating and is also compounded by the lack of back and forward button page history dropdown.

    I thought the purpose of this MS "community" was to assist users. I am disappointed to discover it does not.

    Microsoft Edge Page back and forward

    Hi Britanny,

    Devices that have a precision touchpad have the option to use gestures in Windows 10. To check if your device has a precision touchpad, you can perform the steps posted on this

    link
    . The three finger swipe to navigate the browser (back and forward) is no longer available in the latest iteration of Windows 10. To know more about the available touchpad gestures, click on this

    link
    .

    We'd recommend sending our team a message via the Feedback Hub application on your device to help us improve the features, functionality, and performance of Windows 10. To do this, you can perform the following:

    1. On a Windows 10 device, search for “Feedback Hub” in Cortana search, then launch the app.

    2. Navigate to Feedback in the left menu, then press + Add new feedback.

    3. Select the Problem, and share any details you think are relevant, and choose an appropriate category and subcategory.

    4. Important: If possible, reproduce the problem(s) after clicking Begin monitoring (or Start capture) near the end of the form; Stop
    monitoring
    when you’re done.

    5. Once you’ve completed the form and monitoring, click Submit.

    6. Click Continue using Feedback Hub.

    7. Click My feedback at the top, then find the item you submitted (it may take a while to appear).

    8. Open the item you submitted, then click Share.

    9. Click Copy link, then paste the link here in your response (it will look like https://aka.ms/<unique link>).

    Well, that is a glaring omission. After all, it's been a staple with IE for many years. I don't see how on earth there could be any good reason for leaving this out. And I agree; Edge is a nice browser. It'd be a shame to not be able to use it because of the lack of this feature (and maybe one or two others).
