What are you even talking about. All modern browsers will bring you back to the spot you were in when you go back to the previous page, and have for years.

Which works questionable well in an infinite scrolling situation.

Previously you'd get a token in the URL that was some type of state that hopefully let you resume, but it didn't work if you spent too long reading comments and then pressed the back button.

The new reddit UI solved this problem by simply not having users ever "leave" the home page.
