yes! Far too many sites have terrible experiences when you 'try to got back to something'. back button shenanigans, full page reloads, unable to retrieve data, and worst: losing something that you were half way through writing or doing.

I just want everything to always open in a new tab (or sometimes a new window). gmail yep, music sites yep, youtube yep.

I know it's not what you want necessarily but if you didn't know right clicking on the back button will give you a lot more options and let you go back to various points in history. I find it necessary quite often because I believe that ublock fucks with javascript and breaks a lot of "back button" stuff. I still am never gonna give it up though.
