Hi,

I am facing issue in browser back button. Some topics generally takes 2-3 back button clicks to reach to the previous page. This issue is happening only Chrome browser.

Can anyone help me with this issue?

If it is specific to a browser it is likely due to plugins or browser customizations. Try with a clean install of Chrome, or in incognito mode with all browser plugins disabled.

HI @codinghorror ,

I did all the things as you mentioned. Even i upgraded the discourse version to the latest. The issue is in posts having replies. Suppose a post having 3 replies, it takes 3 back button click to reach the original page .

Any idea why this is happening.

It is either your browser or a third party Discourse plugin causing the issue. If you have tried in a different browser, and disabled all third party Discourse plugins, that’s about it.

If you can’t repro the problem here on Meta it means that the problem is only related to your site, so it can depend on 3 factors:

- incorrect or unsupported or outdated installation
- third-party plugins
- themes and theme components

Have you tried using [safe-mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-use-discourse-safe-mode/53504) disabling plugins and themes? Does the problem still occur?

Also, can you share a link to the site?
