Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Go back with the backspace button! This extension re-enables the backspace key as a back navigation button -- except if you're writing text.

What's New in 3.0:

==================

* Updated to Manifest V3.

Before Chrome 52, the backspace key navigated back (if you weren't writing text). Many people lost their progress while working online by accidentally pressing backspace and leaving a page -- so we removed the feature from Chrome, and created this extension for those who prefer the old behavior.

This extension can't restore backspace on certain special pages, for example any of the "chrome://" pages such as Settings or Extensions.

While I agree that this should be standard browser functionality - everyone who has 1 starred this extension for that fact really should reconsider their rating...

和其他扩展实现的机制一样,都是给页面注入js,在非编辑框时返回

It legit doesn't work Just tells me to press ⌘+← Seriously why isn't this a setting "We prefer that extensions, rather than options, be used to add non-default behavior in most cases." is really dumb for design purposes. This kind of thing is what Flags are for. If it isn't, make an Advanced Settings or something.

Adding an extension = Additional memory usage. Is this really the best you can do? To delete some method that has been used for decades for no probable reason means you're no better then Microsoft. Really, it looks like what Samsung would do.

Alt+Backspace not Backspace and no way to go forward with Shift+Backspace.
