This is very useful, but there is s conflict with this extension if you're using Chrome on both Windows and Linux. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and Win 7 on a couple different laptops...if I add this extension and turn it on in Linux, the extension is also enabled Chrome on Win7, which kills the backspace function. If I disable it on Win7, then when I go back to my Linux laptop it is disabled there as well and backspace doesn't work. So I have to choose, either have backspace working on Win7/Chrome, or Linux/Chrome, but not both. Is there a way to make this extension work in Linux w/out borking the same feature in Win7 when it's enabled there? Thanks!

Breaks backspace functionality on Windows. Since the extensions are synced, I can't install it on just my Linux machines.
