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 know I can hold the back and get the same thing, my point is I should have to perform different steps to get the same result. Bad website is all.

I gave up commenting on bad websites about a quarter-century ago. Most of them are bad one way or the other.
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).
