When navigating back, we reload the page. However, we set a flag to
indicate that cached content should always be preferred even if it is stale.
That is consistent with all other major browsers with one
exception: some of the other major browsers implement a page cache,
which holds the DOM of
recently visited pages in a frozen state so that they can be quickly
restored when navigating back or forward. Such browsers behave similarly to
Chrome when the page you are navigating back to is not found in the page
cache.
