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.

Simple extension, without the simple ability to use shift+backspace to go forward.
Seriously, why remove something, not needed by any other function?! Thank you very much for the addon. Not always is a mouse present with the ability to go back. So instead of moving the mouse, it's simpler to press backspace. @GOOGLE: Before you remove such things, how about implementing REAL MRU? Hmmm? Offtopic, I know.
This extension is doing what Google was supposed to do in the first place. Shame!
Thanks for this. I'm installing from github though! Hopefully it doesnt require any updates.
BEST ADDON EVER. Backspace as backspace.
I utterly DESPISE developers and developer teams that change a VERY common feature without making it a simple setting. It's not complicated and I shouldn't HAVE to install an extension for this. But, this extension does what it should, and seem to be without bugs.
The chrome devs are pretensious idiots
Works perfectly and restores backspace behavior disfigured by Chrome 52 Beta changes recently.
Seriously Google? What were you thinking when you disabled one of the most important keyboard shortcuts in Chrome? This add-on brings it back.
