In a browser there's often arrow buttons that go forward and backward in history:

Can these buttons be clicked on via playwright?

There's no elements for them so I was wondering if this is possible...

await navigationObject(page).backButton.click();

For nodejs

await page.goBack()

Or

await page.goForward()

For python

await page.go_back()

Or

await page.go_forward()

You can find more info here: https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-page#page-go-back

Try the History API:

window.history.back()

and

window.history.forward()
