Go back with back space again

Backspace Back
Description from store

**Obsolete now that Google has published an official extension, switch to https://goo.gl/L30YZ7**

With this extension, use the backspace key to navigate back again (basically, a fix for https://crbug.com/608016). In addition, implements Shift-Backspace to navigate forward since v0.25.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. You need to reload your open tabs after installing the extension.

2. Due to Chrome limitations, this does not work on chrome:// pages such as the new tab page or settings [1], nor in the web store itself [2].

It's too bad, non-native implementations really can't do the same as native. Just accidentally went back and lost all progress on iknow.jp. That never happened with native Chrome back key. Maybe it's time to dump Chrome or adapt to a new shortcut.

Broken on Version 54.0.2840.50 beta-m (64-bit): now even if you're in a text area, it still backs..

Сраный Гугл зачем-то отключил BackSpace в Хроме, это расширение возвращает его нормальную работу.

Actual rating is 4.5 stars I like this extension a lot, and it is one of my favorites, up there with uBlock. My only wish is that, as someone who designs graphics for websites and needs to constantly view the mobile version, it doesn't work on sites that have an m instead of www (i.e. sites in the format m.site.domain don't work as opposed to sites like www.site.domain). If that could be fixed I would definitely rate it 5 stars!

I just added this extension and it's not working. The options button is non functional. How the hell is it even supposed to work?

It's really good, except sometimes when I'm filling out a form and try to delete, it'll override and go back to the previous page, even if I was inside a text box.

This is my life saver. I've been working for years on my keyboard pressing back. They're playing with my life just messing up my muscle memory like that. It's terrible.
