Overview
Re-enables the backspace key as a back navigation button (except when writing text).
Go back with the backspace button! This extension re-enables the backspace key as a back navigation button -- except if you're writing text. What's New in 3.0: ================== * Updated to Manifest V3. Before Chrome 52, the backspace key navigated back (if you weren't writing text). Many people lost their progress while working online by accidentally pressing backspace and leaving a page -- so we removed the feature from Chrome, and created this extension for those who prefer the old behavior. This extension can't restore backspace on certain special pages, for example any of the "chrome://" pages such as Settings or Extensions. About the requested permissions: "Read and modify all your data": In order to capture backspace on every page, the extension needs to install a little piece of code on each one. It does nothing else with the page, its information, or your typing. "Manage your apps, extensions, and themes": This lets the extension detect when it has been re-enabled and install its code into tabs that are already open then. The extension's source code can be viewed at https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/extensions-by-google/+/master/go-back-with-backspace/ By installing this item, you agree to the Google Terms of Service and Privacy Policy at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/.

Really great save for a few sites where it doesn't seem to work, like Squarespace sites. Not sure if that's the extension or something in Squarespace's code. Thanks for making this!
