Is it possible to detect that a user entered a page through using the history back button in his browser? Preferably I want to detect this action using polymer.

Have you tried the [history API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/popstate)? – Ali Naci Erdem Jul 28 '17 at 19:19

You could probably listen on the popstate event as documented here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/popstate
This should fire when the back button is clicked, history.back() is called, etc.
