I'm interested in whether a technical solution exists for the problem -- just so one could point to the Gobblesmack Browser or the RealBack extension in Chrome store (names obviously made up) whenever this comes up. That would cut down on the complaints as well.
Right clicking on the back button and left clicking on the 'flag' link on the complaints covers both reasonably well, if imperfectly.
