Correct. You click on link in page A. The link does not take you directly to Page B, but goes off to Doubleclick, Google, A N Other bunch of scrotal leeches, along with the address of the page you want to go to. They update their "things you're looking at" accordingly, redirect to Page B and serve targetted ads.
Clicking the back button take you back to their hidden page, which redirects you back to page B.
If you get this, double-click the back button. If on the Toadygraph website triple-click it, as everything they serve goes through two redirects.
Alternatively, long-click the back button to get the list of recent pages viewed and click on the one you want.
I'm sure some tinfoil-hat, merchant will be along soon to extol the virtues of FurForks and a bewildering array of extensions, but life's too short to set up and maintain all that lot in my book.
