Use a browser’s main buttons
Step 1 of 5: Open a page
Open your browser and click the address bar near the top. Type the website address and press Enter or Go. If you type a phrase instead, most browsers search for it; inspect the result before following a link.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 2 of 5: Go back and forward
Follow a link within the site, then choose the left-pointing Back arrow. Forward returns to a page you backed away from. These controls follow history; they do not necessarily undo a purchase, message or form submission.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 3 of 5: Reload thoughtfully
Use the circular-arrow reload control to request the page again when content seems outdated. Save or copy unfinished form text first. Avoid reloading during a payment confirmation, because the service may still be processing the request.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 4 of 5: Open and switch tabs
Choose the plus beside the tabs for a second tab. Visit another harmless page, then select the first tab again. The small cross on a tab closes that tab; the window’s close control may close all its tabs.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 5 of 5: Save a useful page
Use the star or the browser’s bookmark command to save a site you want to revisit. A bookmark saves the address, not an offline copy of its content. A Home button, when enabled, opens the configured start page.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.

A common question.
Does a padlock prove a site is honest?
No. A secure connection protects data in transit, but a dishonest website can also use it. Check the address and the organisation.
