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 !!!! aaaaaah :D
Thankyou!
Klasse. Google hat sich mal WIEDER der Lächerlichkeit preis gegeben. Langsam habe auch ich die Nase voll von Googles ständigen geistlosen Ausbrüchen...Warum dann nicht einfach Opera, Firefox oder Safari? Danke für das tolle Addon!
Now that Shift+Backspace and navigation within (i-)frames works, its perfect :)
Been hitting backspace like a maniac and been wondering what happened ???? So instead of leaving frustrated comments, I went to find a solution. I added this chrome extension after checking out Razvan Caliman online in order to see if I want to trust him - hell yes I do and I have my BACKSPACE BACK ♥ Razvan you are my personal UX hero! Thanks a ton! Google - do whatever you want on that backspace thing - I am all set! :P
Thanks SO much - Google should pay you for keeping people like me using CHrome, without this extension I was going to straight to Firefox. I did want to ask - why does it require the permission to "read and change all the information you enter on websites"?
Thank you so much!
Is it really that hard to make a flag or setting for this Chrome Dev Team? This extension does what Chrome removed.
Good as far as it goes, but Shift+Backspace should go Forward as well. With my left hand over the right hand part of the keyboard (and my right hand using a mouse or graphics tablet), this is the easiest one-handed way to navigate Forward. Admittedly less frequently than Back, but it would fully restore the functionality which Google broke.
Thanks - my muscle memory appreciates your efforts here!
