> whats the new tab -> back button feature?

By default if you open a new tab from a link (either intentionally or by clicking a link which opens one for you), Safari adds the linking page to your history for that new tab. If you click back, it’ll close the tab and take you back to your previous state in the tab you left. It works really well when it works, but often leaves zombie tabs open with unclear history if you navigate around in the new tab.
