Anyone else annoyed by the back button not going back?

AVG, Kaspersky and Avast are all considered compromised

Not much of a surprise anyways

 

Good intentions don't seem to always last long when greed makes its way

I don't use Tor. I mean the .com/org/net/ee/lv/lt/ru etc

Only .onion is for Tor

But yeah I understand what you mean, the country domain

Yhea you should really check out mutahar video i linked earlier(controversial spoiler). He considers all the antiviruses a scam, but then again, he is security paranoid to the point of living in virtual machine.

 

And yhea, i know, thats why I mentioned it

Come on man, since when that AV detects anything?

Don't confuse Windows Defender's reputation. Windows Defender now is actually a rebranded version of what used to be Windows Security Essentials, which was received rather well. The reputation of the name is a meme that comes from the Vista program of the same name, but otherwise no relation.

In that case I guess I'll just turn in back on

Muta is one of those people who seem to actually know what they're talking about so I agree.

Afaik he only does the virus testings in a VM, not his actual work.

 

I could be wrong tho

Sometimes the back button will actually be trying to do something like re-running the last piece of Javascript if you clicked some button or something.

 

Solution: Right-click the back button. It'll provide a list of stuff to jump back to in most browsers.

 

Yes, I know that, I right click to see the list of previous pages, that is how I get around it when this happens.

I have no issues getting back to this thread. Even moreso, even after overloading my computer and internet, it still takes one back button press

 

Browsers tested on: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Firefox. Works on all 4. 

 

So yhea, your reproducible proof is no proof at all to us on the other side of your computer screen. 

^{From what you were describing:}

^{I can only think of 2 types of issues: hardware or software.
Since you have not reported any other issues involving mouse clicks, except for the back button on browser, it really seems like an invisible, badly blocked ad or invisible pop up is blocking the back button.  That indicates, in all seriousness, a software issue. 
The reason i suggested using virustotal, is because if the machine is infected, some malware will be able to neutralize the antiviruses you have on infected computer. Also, I do not reccomend using norton, I highly discourage it. Windows defender is good enough, malware bytes can be used, but I always run virustotal on web, if windows defender can't pick up anything, even known PUP's.} 

 

TL;DR: Problem is in somewhere your system, as indicated by multiple people in this post.

 

It's probably one of my extensions then. I opened the link in an incognito/private tab and the back button worked fine like for all else here.

You could list them here or just disable all and enable one by one to see which one causes a quirk
