I’d prefer not to let the bad actors dictate browser design.

“Let’s get rid of images since companies can use images to spoof browserchrome elements.”

“Let’s get rid of text since scammers can pretend to be sending messages from the computer’s operating system.”

“Let’s get rid of email since phishing exists.”

Nah. We can do some stuff (like the aforementioned forked history) to ameliorate the problem, and if it’s well-known enough, companies won’t find it necessary anymore. Heck, browsers like Firefox would probably even let you select Canonical Back as the default Back Button behavior, and then you can have the web the way you want it (like people who disable Javascript).
