I see the problem here is that the back and forward buttons seem to remember the sites even when the history is cleared. I'm going to address this with our mobile developers for you. In the short term, it looks like you can circumvent this issue by opening a new tab (drag down on the plus sign), close the tab you had been browsing in (tap the window list at the bottom right and use the X on the old window), and then clear the history. The new tab does not have the same back and forward buttons, so that separate history does not carry over.



I see also that search box at the top right side of the app holds the text of the last search in the search box following use of "clear history." I can see how someone might expect to have that search text cleared as well, but that is not what "clear history" does. It would be a good improvement for "clear history" to clear that as well. I'll make sure development is aware of this for you as well. In the short term, if you backspace out the text in the box, it will not reappear.



Those are good catches on your part Michael. Thank you for mentioning these things.
