The Chrome team estimates this could "improve performance up to 19% of all navigation" on the Android version. This doesn't mean that Chrome is the only browser to be working on this, Firefox back in 2005 has used back/forward caching to some extent since Firefox 1.5, but it seems to be disabled for HTTPS sites.
