Go back with the backspace button! This extension re-enables the backspace key
as a back navigation button -- except if you're writing text.
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.
After this extension is newly installed, enabled, or updated, any open tabs
will need to be reloaded for the changes to take effect.
This extension can't restore backspace on certain special pages, for example
any of the "chrome://" pages such as Settings or Extensions.
About the "all sites" permission: In order to capture backspace on every page,
the extension needs to install a little piece of code on each one. It does
nothing else with the the page, its information, or your typing.
