Does browser caching still work these days? I thought all web admins  
disabled it on their servers because they can't be bothered to think  
about which cache directives to send along with each page. I can  
rarely return to a previously viewed page without the browser hitting  
the network, in any event.

Not all Web Admins do. At least, people still see ~30% byte hit rates
on Squid caches. ;)

Besides, these are two different things - browser DNS caching and
browser content caching.
