Did you miss Go Back with Backspace @ Chrome?
Quite old, but it's totally worth it.

Poll not foundo. But I sigh each time I tap the backspace, hoping that it would work yet again, then sadness falls upon me as I must use two hands to navigate...
Use the Chrome extension , just installed it, though I could have installed it earlier...
As for the poll, I assume it's a clusterfuck?
I dont even remember when was the last time I used backspace to go back. A thumbclick does it for me everytime.
Nope.
I hated that change
Same here. Yep, alt key didn't work.
I only realized it when a dialog appeared at the top of my screen saying that I should do "ALT+LeftKey" instead
Same here but even that didn't work...
Damn, maybe it's time to revive Netscape haha
At least they couldn't provide automatic updates... CD/DVD installation
At least they developed a plugin albeit one already existed
eh, I'll just modify the chromium source and revert the change, and when it's backspace I'll change the dialog to "Good fucking job" just for my own personal amusement.
When you do this please package it and share.
I miss backspace immensely. Especially when using my laptop.
On OSX it's CMD+back, no idea if that worked before. Back itself does nothing.
I use my touchpad for it mostly, the multitouch in OSX is pretty good and the Apple HW for it is not that bad in newer laptops.
Every thread i read with a poll has this first comment ...

Why it hasn't been fixed?
This is a LowEnd forum, thats why :P
I'm happy it's gone. Too often have I been filling out a form and accidentally hit Backspace. My ThinkPad had me using the dedicated page back button so that wasn't so bad.
Opera got me into the habit of mouse flips and there's a good Chrome extension that mimics it if anyone's interested in the absolute best method of going from page to page..
Cluster error
It annoyed initially but now used to it. Nice thing for those who type and a backspace key would ruin everything.
I also had the issue with backspace making me mad after typing lots. I was wondering why lately it didnt happen, I thought i became supercareful :P
I've always used Alt-LeftKey ever since they invented text fields.
Separate navigation from editing.
Lolx...
@jarland...
Any ideas?
Whats the idea of having a poll when some/most of the users are greeted by poll not found?
Point to ponder
I hated it!
cVim plugin in Chrome - go back with H. Granted there is a small learning curve to vim bindings if not already familiar but if you have already got the taste for keyboard bindings why not use more than a few % of them. With cVim there is often hours when it is both natural and more efficient to use the keyboard over the mouse for navigation, although I grant some websites and some patterns that some web authors use do mandate the mouse.. or keynav if you want to be anal about it..
I miss it...
BUT, sometimes I also rememver how I was filling some form, lost focus in an input somehow, pressed back to delete a char, or by accident, and then I was directed to the previous page with all my info lost.
@mrgeneral you're not even El Cheapo anymore..
You'll need to fight a lot to gain that new title.
Command + left arrow key works just fine for me :P
I feel your pain :P
My most hated "feature" finally put out to pasture!
Hated it while it was there and miss it now that it's gone. Always the same.
