[2.x] Browser "Back" button does not return to the previous page with prefetch on mobile devices

[ramonmalcolm10]

Versions:

• inertiajs/inertia-laravel version: 2.x-dev
• @inertiajs/react version: 2.0.0-beta.3

Describe the problem:

When using Inertia JS v2 on Chrome with an iPhone, I noticed an issue with navigation when using the prefetch feature. After navigating to a new page and clicking the browser "Back" button, it does not return to the previous page as expected. This behavior occurs consistently on this device and browser combination. I haven't tested this without prefetch or on other devices/browsers.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set up an Inertia.js v2 project.
2. Enable the prefetch feature for navigation links.
3. Open the app on an iPhone using Chrome.
4. Click on a link with prefetch enabled to navigate to a new page.
5. Press the browser "Back" button.
6. Observe the behavior.

Looks like the fix from the 1.3 beta did not make it into the 2.x beta yet https://github.com/inertiajs/inertia/releases/tag/v1.3.0-beta.1

Just a bit curious why was v2 marked as stable without bug fixes from version 1.3 @NicolasKion
