Agrre 100%.

The fact that the back button is completely useless now (at least on mobile) because every website wants to refresh every time you go back is probably one of the worst things to happen to web navigation in a long time.

Horrendous experience and it leaves me fumbling with opening everything in new tabs which can get super messy/annoying on a phone.

What we’ve been doing in one of the companies was actively messing up the browser history to benefit ourselves. That’s disgusting, to be honest.

As far as easy access to tabs goes, Sleipnir browse (by Fenrir, a Japanese company) works. I do change some of the other default settings. Gestures, user-agent string, button layout, long-tap behaviour… It's fairly configurable. Uses its own extensions system, though.

Also, the desktop version of Sleipnir is…not recommended: quirky and buggy.
