Backspace Back Autor: Burak Unver

Bring back the classic Backspace navigation.

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().
