I like this feature actually, because I'm used to it. It's simpler and quicker than using Alt + ←. I'm kinda pissed when this behavior is overridden (ie. Google Search).
To be honest, this:
"On some pages (but not all) when I want to erase the last few characters I just typed, I tap Backspace several times. Tap tap tap. And then, lo-and-behold, my browser is leaving the page I was on and going back in the tab history."
never happened to me, and I'm really wondering how the asker manages to lose the focus on a text field while he types.
- NoodleIncident 13y agoIt happens to me when I accidentally hit my laptop trackpad while I'm typing.
- aaronchall 13y agoI'm the asker. You must be one of those cursor focus savants. Do you actually get any work done? If so, are you a super genius whose brain always has extra clock cycles to check that the cursor is blinking next to where you're intending to erase? Or are you a very slow user? Or do you not bother fixing your mistakes when you type?
- thiht 13y agoIt wasn't a rhetorical question and I didn't want to sound aggressive, I'm sorry you took it that way. I didn't even think of the touchpad issue for example.
- tedsanders 13y agoI suspect the most common cause is a wrist or thumb brushing against a laptop trackpad. Or perhaps when switching between windows or tabs.
