javascript:history.go(1-history.length);
Create a new bookmark, and enter that into the Address field. I keep mine on the bookmark bar, and it works fine for my needs. I wish I had thought of this sooner!

I was unhappy when Safari lost the Page Snapback command from the History menu. This command would take Safari back to the very first History page for that window/tab. Well, here's a little javascript bookmarklet that does the same job.

Recreate 'Page Snapback' feature in Safari 4
That's not really the actual behavior of the old snapback feature. It had some sort of logic to determine snapback 'checkpoints' (usually the most recent URL you typed in manually, but it could change -- I never did figure out how or why). That functionality is apparently gone forever.

Well, it's not quite the same thing. You used to be able to mark a page to be where to bounce back to. Also, I had to change it the script from javascript:history.go(1-history.length); to javascript:history.go(2-history.length);

So we need another javascript thing to reset the history. Job done.

Or you could just click-and-hold on the Back button in the browser window and pull down to the first page listed.

Thanks for this. It's versatile, so you can use it with any other browser and OS as well. For example, I just tested it on Firefox in Windoze.

Nice hint. Thanks! In snow leopard you can use automator to turn this into a service and bind a keyboard shortcut to it but it works quicker by making a bookmark in the bookmarks bar as the hint suggests.

Simply hit the Delete key now.
Re: Safari Delete Key = Back
I really hate how the Delete key has become the Back key in Safari. I often find myself accidentally going back a page, merely because I somehow accidentally lost field focus while mousing about I suppose.
