Enable backspace navigation with just one click!
What is Enable Backspace?
"Enable Backspace" is a handy Chrome extension designed to restore the 'go-back' functionality of the backspace button in modern browsers. Upon activation, it allows users to easily navigate to the previous page using the backspace button. The toggle switch for the extension resides on the toolbar icon, and the active state is indicated by its dark grey color. The add-on is simplistic and does not come with any extra settings or options pages.

Worked fine, although for some reason it took a while to start working. I only used it until I discovered that alt+left does the same thing.
