> I think that's exactly the other way around. Precisely correct. Like you, on my desktop, I counter the user interface deficiencies of infinite scrolling by opening links in new tabs. This prevents the very real and very annoying problem of not being able to return to the infinitely-scrolling list view at the position I left it. Tabs prevent that loss of page context. On a mobile device, tab-based workarounds are possible but more cumbersome, so I usually choose to open one item from the infinite scrolling list traditionally. If when I return via the back button, context is lost, I usually concede defeat by this bad user interface paradigm and leave the site.
