Backspace Back

Go back with back space again

Backspace Back Chrome Extension

The Backspace Back extension allows users to navigate backward in Chrome by simply pressing the backspace key, providing a convenient solution for those who miss this functionality. With version 0.25 and later, users can also navigate forward using Shift + Backspace, making it easier to manage your browsing experience.

Important Notes: After installation, remember to reload your open tabs for the extension to work correctly. Keep in mind that this extension does not function on Chrome's internal pages such as the new tab page or settings. As an alternative, consider using Google's official extension published at official page.
