There are a lot more, a few that I know of.

Firstly, pressing F5 refreshes/reloads the page, just like Ctrl+R.

Secondly, and what I've found to be the most useful shortcut ever:
Ctrl+Shift+T
What that does is open the most recently closed tab. So if you accidentally exited out of a tab, you can press Ctrl+Shift+T to reopen it (it'll save all the history too, i.e. the back button will still have all the previously viewed pages).
