hey @kizzy > [@kizzy](#): > > i try to back to original url it wont change. What blocks are you using to do this? How are you testing it? ---

This is a bug I mentioned previously: > [@Web Viewer Problem June 2020](http://community.thunkable.com/t/web-viewer-problem-june-2020/613305/2): > > I am having the same problem, cant seem to fix it. Whats weird is that you can print out the current URL, and even when you have navigated to a totally different page or website within the webviewer, it will still consider the page you are on currently to have the same URL as you started with… The URL doesnt actually change when navigating through the internet, it just remains the start url. ---

Hey @knownkeep - I’m not sure if this is a bug so much as it was just how the component was originally designed? But, to be fair, I why there’s a disconnect between that the block is called and the value it returns. My understand was that it always returned the default URL so I was just interested in this remark at the end: > [@kizzy](#): > > it was working before ---

> > it was working before I said the same thing in my post. Please see my previous post. > > how the component was originally designed? The bottom line is web viewer should navigate to ANY URL when it’s set/reset. Period. Everytime. I don’t even understand why it would “check” to see if it was set before other than to try to avoid an unnecessary reload. Either way it’s wrong/buggy. (I say that respectfully — not argumentatively) ---
