Well, we could just go to these arrows in the toolbar and click on them to go back and forth. So I’d have to click on the left arrow about four different times because I browsed about four different pages. Well also what you can do is click and hold on this. I’m going to click and hold on this left arrow. And when I do that, I can see my complete history. So now what I’m able to do is go directly to CNN. I select it, and I’m back at CNN.
