Why doesn't swipe work in the Edge Browser?

Swipe doesn't work in Edge Browser

In the metro version of IE for Win8.1, you could swipe right to go back to the previous page in the browser. I cannot find any way to do that with either IE or Edge in the just released version of Windows 10.

Is there any way to simply swipe on the page to go to the previous page so that you don't have to go up to the top left corner of the screen and hit the back arrow?

I noticed that too. I really liked that feature. I think you should at be able to swipe back and forth on the web browser in tablet mode??

I also think they need to enable horizontal scrolling in tablet mode as well!​

yeah, i made that suggestion via their feedback app. probably more than once.

i assume they want you to start using the back arrow, like every other (Android) tablet out there.
