Chrome and Firefox. Probably IE too.

  No, at least for me (Firefox on Linux) Backspace doesn't do anything special.

    The “backspace = back” behavior of Firefox is only enabled by default on Windows. The behavior is controlled by the about:config setting `browser.backspace_action` (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.backspace_action http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.backspace_action).

      Ah, thanks. I don't need it anyway :) Alt + Left/Right works fine.

      It also appears to be enabled by default on Mac OS X.

  Not on Linux, where the 'previous page' action is mapped to Alt-left by default. After being initially frustrated, I got really used to Alt-Left for going back. The reasoning behind it is pretty smart too, because numerous times backspace can result in the loss of data, like when you're filling up a form and you hit backspace outside of a text box.

    Indeed, I like the 'alt-left' keyboard shortcut, though I especially like it because it does the same thing in both Chrome and Firefox on both Windows and Linux! Yay for consistency!
