a majority of the type of user for whom SnapBack might have been a natural fit had already implemented its essential functionality much earlier by establishing the habit of preserving pages/tabs which represented significant branching nodes in the navigational tree [i]by opening links contained in such pages/tabs in new pages/tabs. That's what I have been doing. I missed Snapback when it was eliminated but it has become second nature to open links in a new tab; I don't have to stop to think about it anymore. Still, I'm happy that Snapback has been retained in the Google search box because that is really convenient (and, in my view, almost essential).
