Omg sites that quickly redirect to prevent you from clicking the back button should be shut down.
Right-clicking the back button used to get you a list of the previous several pages you could select from to bypass this.
I still have that feature on a few different browsers. Mobile and desktop. What browser are you using that doesn't?
The reason I phrased it that way is that it struck me as the sort of feature that might have gotten removed from one or more popular browsers in the name of "simplification". The right-click functionality still exists in the browser I daily-drive (Pale Moon, a Firefox fork that retains a lot of features its parent has jettisoned, so I couldn't be sure this wasn't one of them).
