Comment on Browser History (2013)

I generally want a back button that rewinds time (server side be damned).

usually I'll right-mouse-button click + open in new tab on any link instead of just clicking on it.

Eventually, like garbage collection, I'll stop, go back to the start of the tabs and close a bunch of them, then go back to what i was looking at.

And if I'm on a site that doesn't allow right clicking on a link? well the site had better be important otherwise it's gonna get closed.

Use middle click (or for those without a middle mouse button on a computer they can't reconfigure, use ctrl/cmd + click)

Sometimes middle click gets swallowed by bad code.

But more importantly, you can't use either method if the link is a javascript function.

Me too. But not for the browser. For the OS.
