  Well, you want to be using Firefox in the first place. Chrome is just data-collection. You want uBO and NoScript and learn to check everything when a page fails to load.

    Thanks for the info but, no offence, this was not my question. I never noticed once that ‘going back’ would bring me to the same or a new one. I use Vanadium on the phone and for browsing on desktop Firefox and Mulvad.

      No offence taken. Even on Firefox this seems to be a regular issue on sites like hotel/travel booking. When you don’t buy anything, the back button sends you to a landing page with more options instead of operating as designed. Weird as it is, Google’s move might make life better for Firefox users. I’ve been conditioned to open everything in a new tab because of such shenanigans.
