This is why Google switched the 'Back' function to Alt+Left Arrow in Chrome. You could be trying to delete something out of a web form and accidentally leave the page.
- branon 7y agoI resisted this change (in Firefox) because I thought it was horribly unintuitive. Oh, how backwards I had gotten it. Alt+Left arrow makes _loads_ more sense than "Backspace, but conditionally, only when not engaged in a text entry field."
- MaulingMonkey 7y agoThe main problem I run into with it is webcomics bind left/right to page navigation, and aren't smart enough to not do it when alt is held.
- cosmodisk 7y agoI absolutely hate the new way! Used to be so much better by just clicking Backspace. Can I have it back,please?
- Narishma 7y agoYou can do that in Firefox.
- Narishma 7y agoThat's when I switched to Firefox. I've been using the backspace key to go to the previous page or directory since the mid-90's and I never accidently left a page when trying to delete stuff.
