Backstay

I can't stand computers that do what they think is helpful rather than just doing what you tell it to. Losing a page of typing because the browser thought it should go back a page instead of erase a typo, is total garbage. This was not an easy fix to find, as web searches kept showing me results for people that wanted the exact opposite.

doesnt work

This has worked for me in Windows 7, 8.1 and 10. Essentially, if you're typing in a text box and your cursor wanders to the main page and out of the text box, then pressing the 'backspace' button takes you back to the previous page rather than the previous space inside the text, thus losing all the work you've created. This stopped that problem just as advertised.

It didn't work. I agree with Plankton Jr. I must type this comment without mistakes because I ei will not be able to fis fix them grrrrrrrrrrr! FIXED IT! Turned out all I had to do was restart my computer and it went back to normal. If that didn't work, my next step would have been to uninstall and reinstall Chrome.

Works in the address bar, but not in the text fields. In fact, I can't even backspace in this review! Instead i have to highlight and type over it.

Not working for me...backspacing while not in a text field is still acting as a back button.

so far, so good!

Thanks, this help a lot better then other extensions.

works, but only when backspace wouldn't have taken me 🔙 a page, otherwise, I could not use backspace.
