"Back" is normally used to move "up" because most of the time, "back" and "up" are the same thing.

- MatthewPhillips 15y agoPossibly true, but users don't expect the back button to move up, they expect it to move back. In the web browser if you click on a link from HN and then hit back you don't expect the browser to direct you to the parent domain, you expect it to return to HN.
