One amusing nitpick: this extension restores the backspace-outside-text-input-elements key press functionality, yet does not restore the shift+backspace counterpart (ATM). Second bitterly amusing fact is that proclaimed drawback of "accidental" backspace causing loss of data entered into form is (FMPoW) in fact quite hard to achieve: you have to make really poor web-app with `history.replace`, broken HTTP redirects or wild JavaScript rendering without proper history API "anchoring" of the view state. For normal use-case (like writing this comment) I am confident that I can go back to previous page in history and return here and I will get this textarea filled with text it contained before exit. Third fact which contradicts my previous statement and surprised me a lot is how many people here at HN expressed negative experiences with accidental history.backs (paulddraper here and namely discussion under "Ask HN: Please stop overriding standard browser navigation keys with Javascript." [1] I found while digging. Btw, Firefox goes even further: it is able to re-fill generated elements, keeps filled values after (soft) reload (aka F5 or CTRL+R) and generally prevents loss your precious data so much that I haven't experienced any accident of this kind in years (back in times this was not this reliable there was "Lazarus: Form Recovery" Firefox extension [2]).
