Summary
This extension requires permissions to inject a piece of code in all of the pages you visit. If that freaks you out, that's ok. Handing over those permissions freaks me out too.
You can choose to install this extension from source (it's very short) to make sure it's not doing anything malicious. See: https://github.com/oslego/chrome-backspace-back#from-source

Hello,
I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up.
No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me.
We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States.
It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact.
If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts

Doesn't work at all...

Funguje výborně (aneb stejně, jako před tím, než Google přišel s touhle kravinou), takže i na myši mi opět funguje tlačítko zpět stejně, jako posledních 6 let..
Akorát na některých webech bych ocenil zakázání (potřebuji backspace pro jiné účely a v původním nativním řešení to fungovalo trošku jinak).
