Strongly agree -- this is where tabs as artifacts becomes useful. I don't necessarily feel that we need to eliminate tabs in favor of "virtual" tabs but that we can contain the "tab explosion" problem. One thing I do frequently is do a middle-click-on-back-button to navigate backwards but keep the current tab open; the enhancement here would be that this would be a cost-free and non-context-losing operation.
