Is Go Back With Backspace safe?

Clean risk

Use the Backspace key to navigate back when you are not typing text.

This extension restores the older Chrome behavior where pressing Backspace goes to the previous page. It is designed not to trigger back navigation while you are writing text, and it does not work on certain special Chrome pages such as chrome:// settings or extensions pages.
