Go back with back space again
**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].

- (2016-11-04) SEDATIVE X: Its the best Backspace extension of all :) It dont have the bug like the others, when u type a text in a Java chat window and want to delete the text ,and get u back to previous page... This one works like a charm :) Keep the good work up :)
- (2016-10-23) Etienne Levesque Guitard: 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.
- (2016-10-11) Benjamin Peng (Ben): Broken on Version 54.0.2840.50 beta-m (64-bit): now even if you're in a text area, it still backs..
- (2016-08-24) Michel Angelo: only stupid people would lose their data when pressing backspace. thanks for giving it back
- (2016-08-16) Sydth asd: Doesn't work on all pages.
- (2016-08-15) Rim Dig: Сраный Гугл зачем-то отключил BackSpace в Хроме, это расширение возвращает его нормальную работу.
- (2016-08-14) Thank you.
- (2016-08-13) mermaidprincess: 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!
- (2016-08-12) Henry Vorselman: Works like a charm. Hope Google still fixes this, but for now this is great!
- (2016-08-10) Çinik Akçun: Works as expected. Good job!
- (2016-08-10) Sarah Kercz: 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?

- (2016-08-03) subbes Spookbungle: Just what I needed!
- (2016-07-31) Christian Schuman: 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.
- (2016-07-30) Gordon Freeman (FREEMAN): THANK YOU, IT REALLY WORKS ! :)
