Additional Information:
Do you have trouble when navigating with the keyboard shortcuts(?):
@Marvinator2003 I believe the issue is just not being aware of the circumstances. In many cases you click on a link and it just jumps to the next page. However, sometimes they instead jump to a routing link that then sends a person somewhere else. When this happens, clicking the back arrow is simply bringing you back to the routing link which then throws you back to the current page. It’s kind of an endless cycle. (and can make it appear like it’s not actually going back because it happens so quickly)
Typically the way around this is to have to hold down on the back arrow and it will show you all the pages you can go back to. You’d then just select the right one, usually the second or third down from the list. But will show something like below:
Typically, this behavior is caused by the coding of the website itself, rather than the browser. Note that it is not limited to reddit, but reddit is notorious for this behavior. It has to do with the way and the number of redirects that have occurred.
I run into this issue all the time myself and you should see the same behavior in other browsers as well.
