For most users - it is a fix. It's a better user experience, full stop, for most people. Nearly all users I see browse the web either use MB4/MB5 for "Back/Forward" page navigation or click the arrow UI of their browser. Few people intentionally use backspace - and backspacing during forms (and then losing your form data) is a UX problem. I use backspace for page navigation about as frequently as MB4/MB5 (I never remember which is 4 and which is 5...) - so I hated this change. But I can understand why they made it. https://xkcd.com/1172/ https://xkcd.com/1172/
