Overview

Navigate back with Backspace and forward with Shift+Backspace when your cursor isn’t in a text field.

Backspace for Back Button brings back one of the simplest, most-loved shortcuts ever to grace a web browser: tap Backspace to go Back in history, and Shift + Backspace to go Forward—all without risking the accidental deletion of text. Backspace for Back Button lets writers, coders, analysts, and accessibility users keep their hands on the keyboard, maintain flow state, and avoid the micro-friction that accumulates when you reach for the mouse or trackpad hundreds of times. Key benefits at a glance Rediscover speed – Page-to-page navigation becomes muscle-memory fast again, shaving precious seconds off every research session, forum binge, or coding documentation dive. Stay in flow – Keyboard users often rely on Vim-style shortcuts, IDEs, or note-taking apps that minimize mouse interaction. This extension completes that workflow. Protect your work – Because the shortcut is suppressed the moment you’re typing in a field, you’ll never lose a paragraph of feedback, a bug report, or an email draft. Zero headaches for IT – No permissions, no background threads, no GDPR implications. Perfect for enterprise roll-outs where policy teams scrutinize every extension.
