How to force Google Chrome to reload/refresh a web page when using back & forward?

Google Chrome (Mac Os version) used to auto refresh a web page page every single time I use the back and forward buttons but starting around six months ago to now, it does not do that most of the times I go back or forward. Is there a way to force it to auto reload/refresh a destination webpage when using back and forward buttons like before? StellarHalo (talk) 06:37, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fn + F5 is commonly used as a reload key in many web browsers and other applications. Shantavira|^{feed me} 10:22, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This does not work for me using Google Chrome on macOS. However, to the left of the address bar the Chrome window has icons 🡠 🡢 ⟳ for go back / go forward / reload. Some webpages (e.g. www.youtube.com) tend to reload in any case; others (e.g. Wikipedia) don't, irrespective of the browser. --Lambiam 16:13, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
