Can't you do the same thing without JavaScript, by having the web page go through a brief redirect so the back button takes you to the redirect?

And if so, how do you solve this? Ban server-side redirects? Make the Google SERP iframe all sites it takes you to? I agree this is a problem but I have no idea how to solve it in a way that's not worse.

Maybe if you visit a page for only two tenths of a second, the back button skips it.

It won't fix the whole problem but it's a start.
