Overview
Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
This extension requires permissions to inject a piece of code in all of the pages you visit. If that freaks you out, that's ok. Handing over those permissions freaks me out too.
You can choose to install this extension from source (it's very short) to make sure it's not doing anything malicious.

Works on most websites, but pressing backspace in Blizzard net billing info textbox causes browser to go back. Therefore, unusable.
They were wrong to remove this feature in the first place.
Funktioniert nicht gescheit! Müll! 1. Es ist zu sehr verzögert. 2. Es funktioniert oft nicht richtig.
Yet another extension to install, in the risk of slowing down the entire browser or spyware in the future if they sellout (no offense, but it happens all the time...) Can't believe this isn't simply a setting that can be reenabled.
Thank you so much!!!! Works perfectly on Windows 10 Chrome.
Works perfectly. Had to restart Chrome. Shame the devs removed this feature, but I'm glad a dev like Razvan Caliman exists so we can have the feature back.
Can't believe Google wouldn't even give us a flag for this. Thanks for undoing this monumental screw up.
Nice to have backspace back in action, I only wish this would add shift+backspace as forward...
Oh my god thank you
How could google remove this function without a setting to re-enable!?! Thank you for this extension!
