Why doesn't Lemmy have a back button?

It's really confusing me why Lemmy doesn't have a back button when you are browsing via the web. Is this something that just got missed or is it meant to be like that?

Because your browser has one. Why would you need a second?

Not everyone is used to pressing back and forwards on there browser and it will often be hidden if you use the page as web-app through certain devices.

What's the benefit of splitting your address and search bars?
