If I click to view the images etc from a google search, can not go back to the full search results by clicking "Go back one page" arrow button. Page goes blank and just returns showing the links for shopping etc.

I have to resort to a quick double tap followed by single tap to get back to the full search results.

It may be fixed at some point, but my way is better. If you want to explore the new link, you don't lose the original page.

To bypass this problem; Right click on the image / link and select Open In New Tab.

Thanks for the work around Fred, will use in future,but surely this is just bypassing the problem rather than fixing it?
