I'm experiencing an odd issue with Chrome. It originally affected just the Amazon UK site but now it's started to affect this forum too. I don't think it's necessarily an issue with the forum software, but it would be useful to know if anyone else is experiencing it so that I can mention it to Google.
The issue is that the 'back' functionality stops randomly, as if all the history of that tab disappears. This affects the browser back button, touchpad and mouse. Trying to go back to the previous page does nothing, and the only way to cure the problem is to close and open the tab and start afresh.
The workaround with Amazon was to disable the extension called 'ad block plus'. That seems to help although I've not tested it exhaustively. I've never had that extension enabled for this site so that can't be the cause.
The issue affects build 29 of Chrome and has been discussed on the Amazon and Chrome forums, so it's quite widespread. Anyone else experienced it?
