Olá Pessoal,

Revivendo aqui o tópico, acabei de re-encontrar um artigo do Nielsen sobre o botão voltar e mais alguns posts interessantes:

1. Breaking or Slowing Down the Back Button

The Back button is the lifeline of the Web user and the second-most used
navigation feature (after following hypertext links). Users happily know 
that they can try anything on the Web and always be saved by a click or two
on Back to return them to familiar territory.

Except, of course, for those sites that break Back by committing one of these design sins:

• opening a new browser window (see mistake #2)
• using an immediate redirect: every time the user clicks Back, the browser returns to a page that bounces the user forward to the undesired location
• prevents caching such that the Back navigation requires a fresh trip to the server; all hypertext navigation should be sub-second and this goes double for backtracking
