A question about the Chrome browser Login/Join

Sometimes Firefox gives me a great big "nuh-uh" on loading images. When that happens, I switch over to Chrome and all seems well.

The thing I notice on Chrome is that the backspace key doesn't work as the "go back" button like it does in Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Am I overlooking a setting somewhere, or does Chrome just not do that?

Thanks, all.




God bless America.

The alt + the left arrow key combination works as the go back button.
If I recall, it works with all the major browsers.

True! Alt + left arrow does work as the go-back in all three mentioned.

It just seemed odd to me that the backspace doesn't perform that function in Chrome. I guess it's not as much a "standard" as I thought.

ETA: Looks like there's an add-in for that.




God bless America.

Google disabled the "backspace key" as a "go back" function in early 2016.

Yeah, it annoyed the crap outta me for a while.
