System Back Button Behavior
-
Unless I'm completely imagining things, last year the Android system back button (or gesture) would take us back to an originating tab, it wouldn't close the browser.
For example, search for <x> on <search engine>, and then opening 3 results in 3 new tabs, you might not recall that the tab has no history, but if you would hit the system back button, it would close the child tab, and navigate back to the parent tab.
Now, pressing back on the child tab (twice if you change the setting) will just Quit the browser. And sometimes seems to close the tab too, but anything cached is cleared.Problem is that it's way too easy to go back on Android if the navigation buttons are turned off system-wide
Is there any Boolean value I can change to put this back? If I want to Quit the browser, I can do that easily, but I don't want any of my actions in the browser, to close the browser.
Would be really nice to have that option instead of the 'press back twice to exit' toggle, but a multiple-value option of 'back to quit'/'back twice to quit'/'back to previous or most recent tab'Thanks for your thoughts!

@CovenStine I wish that function so hardly.
I scream shout every try to get back to the original tab(((((I found that swipe from left border works that way, but it is not intuitive.

I support this feature request too. I'm missing back-to-close-tab feature, it was extremely useful. Please return it at least as an configurable option.
@th3nikolas Swiping from left does not work for me, also offers to hit Back again to close the whole app.

Found that the undesired back behavior occurs when the setting "Double click on system back button to close the app" is enabled. When disabled, it closes the opened tab and returns to previous tabs as it should.

@Veddu thank you so much!

Silly me for thinking "avoid accidentally closing" was a good thing.
Also found a switch added to the "tabs" menu in Settings "swipe to close tab" but it seems the system Back prevents the swipe from registering in Vivaldi as a Swipe, it just comes in as a Back.Anywho, thanks for that!
