Backspace Navigation (for Linux)

Backspace navigation (for Linux) is a simple Chrome extension that allows users to use the backspace key to go back one page in their browser history on Chrome for Linux. It also supports shift+backspace to go forward. This extension is specifically designed for Linux users, as Chrome for Linux does not have this feature. It does not interfere with the built-in backspace navigation on Windows or Mac.
