Back Button

Friday, September 5th, 2008

I really want my back button to skip redirect pages. Is there any conceivable situation where I would want to go to the page I am currently at when I push "back"? No. We can't count on web-designers to pass up on this opportunity to up their page loads, so someone make ...
