Backspace navigation (for Linux) Extension

This simple extension allows you to use the backspace key to go back one page in your browser history (when not typing in some input field), or shift+backspace to go forward. The extension is intended for Linux users (as Chrome for Linux does not have this feature), but it should not break the built-in backspace navigation on Windows/Mac.

Allan Laal (ID: 0000007a787ad777) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/19/2016 goes back 2 pages for every keypress. unusable :(

Samuele R. (ID: 000000324d07b22e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/09/2014 Just works.

Michael Gebetsroither (ID: 000000060f10c168) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/16/2014 Works really good on linux, but breaks backspace navigation on chromebooks.

Kevin Sar (ID: 0000002c04ae6eb0) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/14/2013 It's very spotty for me. It usually only works if I'm on a page that has already been loaded and only works if I navigate to a new page first. so if I press back once and then back again it won't work.
