In most browsers you can hold the back button for a second and it will let you skip back more than one step.

Probably should have mentioned it, but I was on my phone browser where that option either doesn't exist or isn't surfaced well. A long press on the back button just does the same thing as tapping once, so I'm all out of ideas.

You can right-click on the back button in Firefox to see a list of previous sites to go back to.

  • Yeah, it’s the same feature, just two different gestures. (And long tap works with Firefox on Android, btw.)

And some websites consume the entire history that a browser displays in that menu

  • Has definitely happened to me. Especially if I try the "click back a couple times quickly" method first.
