Chrome web browser

Is doing my nut since they've disabled backspace taking you back to the previous page. Has anyone found a way round this? If not what's the current browser of choice?

[woody]

When did they do that? It's still on my mobile and laptop. Both up to date I think.

[neil]

Very recently. I've only noticed it this week.

Works for me as well on my MacBook.

Works fine on Safari as well.

Yes - very annoying. I hadn't realised it was a Chrome thing.

Right click, then back or alt + left arrow?

I'd get used to it, as I think other browsers will follow the idea.

Right click, then back or alt + left arrow?

That's double the effort /lazy faction

I think I'll try Firefox for a bit and hopefully they won't follow.

Ever used mouse gestures? I got adicted to them in Opera, and I see there's a plugin for Chrome. I'm going to give it a go.

There is an unofficial extension available which restores the backspace functionality - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... kgffhcbaec

Oh the backspace thing drove me crazy too for a week !!!

Until i installed the Chrome extension "Backspace to go Back"

Problem solved.

Just to be sure, are we talking about the back and forward arrows on the top left of the menu bar?
