Press Backspace anywhere to go back to the previous page — just like old browsers used to do.
- Press Backspace → goes back in history
- Smart typing detection → Backspace works normally in inputs, textareas, search boxes, dropdowns, and rich text editors (contenteditable)
- No popup, no settings, no background work. It just works.
- 100% local. No data collection, no analytics, no network requests.
- No accounts, no ads, no tracking.
- Lightweight — a single key listener, nothing else.
The extension needs access to all websites (
<all_urls>) only so Backspace navigation works everywhere. It does not read, store, or transmit page content — it only listens for the Backspace keypress outside text fields and calls history.back().Built with bun and wxt.
