    You can't.

    No browser would ever have such a feature because it would hinder a users ability to browse the internet and that level of control could be potentially dangerous too.

    That article's sweet and all, but your server-side software should be able to deal with that scenario appropriately.

    Easiest way is put a js redirect on the initial url. Then when they hit back button it just takes them to the page with the js redirect, which brings them back to your page again. Your users will despise you for it, but that will work.
