I've already, three times at least, been saved by the fact that I'm on Canary builds where this is already active. Had typed into a form, the form lost focus, I hit backspace and Chrome popped a helpful, unobtrusive box telling me how to go back if I was trying to.
And there's already an extension that brings it back.
I hate seeing Chromium bug tracker links posted to HN or Reddit though. Just like Microsoft GitHub Issues. They just don't need more poorly informed knee-jerk trolls.
edit: Maybe I should clarify? I don't think that anyone is a troll for wanting to keep existing Backspace behavior. But when these bug reports get linked to from reddit/hn, they're invariably overrun by people making assumptions, posting memes and berating developers. It always wind up as counter-productive.

- colejohnson66 10y ago> Downvoted for pointing out how this change has helped me, nice. You just stay classy as ever. This happens on every news site. Point out something that disagrees with the mindset of someone and back it up with facts? Downvote. I thought Hacker News was better than this?

- kevin_thibedeau 10y agoSometimes you get sympathy upvotes. Had a -3 converted +11 the other day for a grouchy observation guaranteed to unsettle the kumbaya groupthink around here.
