Also without the slowness!

[Alt]+ [<-] or [->] works for going Back / Fwd

Interestingly Alt + N for new window and then Ctrl+Tab cycles the windows.

I like this old school workflow for some browsing tasks rather than tabs (but not all the time obviously)

That means the slowness comes uniquely from IE, not from the engine? I find that surprising, for some reason. I would have imagined the browser UI would be easier to optimize.

No, because Internet Explorer is (was) not slow. That's just a meme, and it's incorrect.

IE was slow. The meme is from when this was accurate information. IE 10 and 11 made it mostly competitive.

The Edge browser was pretty decent, awful tracking aside. Arguably better than Chrome in many aspects.
