This might occur to anyone when they are reading through an article or blog and we click on the link and start reading it. However, we often forget the original topic or page that we came from. Hence, backward navigation helps in moving back to previous pages.
This always happens to me and I understand it after a while. Hence, I hit on the backward navigation button to navigate back to previous pages which I missed reading. Once I am done reading the previous pages, I navigate again to the latest page and continue reading. Here the navigation helps me to move to and fro within the browsing session.
The Microsoft Edge browser does have a forward and backward navigation button that helps in browsing between the pages. It’s quite easy and requires no setup.

Bottom Line: Edge Android Browser Navigation
The Edge (chromium) for Android has integrated navigation that can help in moving forward and backward within the web pages. The forward navigation arrow is disabled on the latest page, while the backward arrow is disabled on the first page.
I use the forward and backward navigation buttons to move swiftly between the pages. Especially when I am reading an article online. It helps me skip back to the previous pages if I want to re-read something that irked my curiosity back then.
Also, we often open many hyperlinks in curiosity to know or learn things. In this way we end up opening multiple pages and to return to the page that you were reading, you need to continue tapping the backward-facing arrow until you discover the same page.
