Chrome removed shortcut that makes “backspace” return to the previous page (businessinsider.com)

TL/DR - Backspace no longer takes you to the prior page in your browsing history, the way hitting the back button does. Now it is:

Windows: Alt + Left arrow

Mac: Delete or ⌘ + [ or ⌘ + Left arrow

Happy to see this go. When using online tools this "feature" ruined more hours than I want to count. Love shortcuts but this one was a problem.

i have never understood why browsers are so slow to do things like that. firefox still has this bug open: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52821
