    I almost never encounter it anymore because I habitually just open a new tab for everything. A habit I started doing because encountering it made me so angry I almost swore off computers altogether

    Super niche adjacent rage but shoutout to max-for-live developers who implement their Ableton plugins as a series of user actions so that the instant you touch the plugin it detonates your entire undo history

    long click on the "back button" will list the history of the tab you'll be able to select the search history

    (ay least on Firefox)

    Or right-click.

    Unless the site also spams the history to fill that list so that you can't use it. Yes, I've seen that happen.
