Is Backspace for Navigation safe?
Backspace for Navigation lets page-generated Backspace events close the current tab when close-on-history-top is enabled.
Its content script runs on HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and file pages and handles Backspace outside text fields as a navigation shortcut. When the page has no history and the close-on-history-top option is enabled, the content script asks the service worker to close the current tab and switch back to a previously active tab; the handler does not check whether the key event came from the user.
