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.
