- (2019-01-02) Александр Корнышев: Иногда из-за приложения яндекс браузер полностью загружает одно из ядер процессора, из-за чего процессор сильно греется, а комп тормозит. Такое поведение преждевременно сожгёт вам процессор, будьте аккуратнее.
- (2018-10-25) Geoff Goas: This has been working great for me up until Chrome 69. Now the extension randomly causes 100% CPU usage. Is the developer active?
- (2018-09-18) Jaime Garcia: Mysterious high cpu usage, possible crypto miner
- (2016-11-07) Irina Svetlowa: Hi, I am interested in acquiring your extension "Backspace for Chrome". Please contact me at: [email protected]
- (2016-09-17) R K: Of ALL the Chrome extensions out there to restore backspace functionality, this is the only one I found with the ability to work around unwanted "go back" behavior occurring in Flash applets. You can use the "Exclude list" feature to blacklist those websites from the "backspace to go back" behavior.
- (2016-09-06) David Ward: This DID work in Windows for everyone who says it doesn't. Had this working on Win 8 quite happily until recently. Assume a Chrome update has hobbled it now.
- (2016-08-02) Alex Morais: No me puedo creer que me haga falta esta extensión...
- (2016-08-01) 僊逸醉(Feng): does not work on some sites but better than nothing
- (2016-08-01) Michael Barber: This will work till the Chrome dev's come to their senses and add this option to the app natively.
- (2016-07-12) willde Oscar: no use
- (2016-06-14) Michael Richardson: Doesn't work on Windows, but I'm giving it 5 stars to show my support in the hopes that the Chrome team will come to their senses and either bring this functionality back, make it an option or that someone will create an extension that will correct their mistake (by my opinion).
- (2016-06-04) Etienne Levesque Guitard: It doesn't work on Windows. Only OS X and Linux.
- (2016-03-02) Evgeniy R: What's up? It's not working after last update!
- (2014-03-16) Alex Georgiev: Cool, but not working for file system files.
- (2014-02-26) Nikola Nikolov: Excellent - does exactly what it's supposed to. It can be very frustrating to have to use the mouse to click the back button when you're mostly using the keyboard... It is a bit uncomfortable when you sync between Windows and Linux, but I can get over it.
- (2014-01-20) Monish Overlander: Should not navigate to previous page when attempting to delete text within an input element. Please fix.
- (2014-01-09) Aaron Anderson: It works well enough, but has a bug where backspacing a mistake in certain text fields (often form data, such as shipping addresses) causes navigation away from the page instead of the intended behavior of erasing the mistake.
- (2014-01-08) Halil Velasco: Hace lo que dice y ya, me alegra por fin poder regresar con el teclado
- (2013-12-13) Krissy Brannan: It hasn't worked on a single page.
- (2013-10-26) john nguyen: FINALLY!!! perfect, you know how you get lazy sometimes and want to just use one hand...my pinky loves the backspace button
- (2013-10-06) Erwin Baeyens: The only remark I can make is that this add-on should be unneeded as this is functionality that belongs in the browser.
- (2013-09-14) Jason Lewis: Great idea - solves the problem but if you use Chrome's ability to sync plugins between your various machines, it breaks backspace functionality in chrome on Windows.
- (2013-08-20) Jonathan Miller: It doesn't work on Facebook at all, as far as I can tell.
- (2013-08-02) Daniel Husman: Doesn't work on Ubuntu 13.4
- (2013-07-22) Jesse Hu: Works for most pages - breaks on many.
