Agh, yes, I forgot to mention the worst part!

However, that one I blame the browsers for. I distinctly remember the back button working differently, where it would reliably take you to the exact state of the previous page, just as if you had opened the current link a new tab and closed it, but it changed at some point, and most sites do something that destroys the state when you back into them as well.

Opera did that. The back button was instant, no page reload.
So did Firefox, in my recollection. That’s one thing I liked about it. But it changed at some point.
