Comment on Browser History (2013)parent

Comments

Perhaps the Back button should really be split into Back (cached) and Back (reload), since both of those are equally valid use cases. (Edit: the fact that the parent comment and another sibling comment here currently completely disagree is evidence enough that both options are necessary. I personally want both behaviours, depending on the situation.) No doubt the "UX experts" will complain that it's too complicated for "average users", but we aren't and don't want to be "average users" --- we want a powerful browser UI that lets us control our browsing experience better; that's something that seems to be rare in this age of increasingly dumbed-down UIs.
