About Backspace Back

Backspace Back Bring back the classic Backspace navigation. Press Backspace anywhere to go back to the previous page, just like old browsers used to do. What it does - 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. Privacy - 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()`.
