Safari's Behavior Upon Page Regression

I love what safari and apple have done with browsers. One thing bothers me though. Sometimes, when I return to a news site after reading a particular story, I see the prior web page... but then, before I can read the next headline and click on it, the page refreshes. What I think it ought to do is not refresh unless told to do so. I'm not sure how much duplicate information is being transmitted, but I pay through the nose for all inbound bytes, no matter how many times they've been sent before. I suspect it has to do with loading fresh adds.

Regardless, it's a blast sweeping away a page to see the page you were just on. The reader part is also very cool. I'm not sure how this is accomplished, but they did it.

It would also be nice if they provided an option for prohibiting the download of video. Often I download a set of stills to see if I want to play a given video (very big files), only to find that while I'm looking at stills on one side of the page some stupid commercial for soap or chicken liver is playing at 30 frames per second on the other side of the page.
