What our analysis found
Backspace to go Back, used by 100,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in January 2023.
Analyst notes
The extension contains a single content script that adds a keydown handler for the Backspace key to navigate history. There is no network communication, data collection, or external code loading. The only discrepancy is a mismatch between the bundled manifest (version 2) and the published CWS summary (version 3), which is a listing metadata issue, not evidence of malice. All code behavior aligns with the stated purpose.

Restores browser behavior of navigating to previous page when pressing the Backspace key.
Read the publisher’s full description
This extension requires permissions to inject a piece of code in all of the pages you visit. If that freaks you out, that's ok. Handing over those permissions freaks me out too. You can choose to install this extension from source (it's very short) to make sure it's not doing anything malicious. See: https://github.com/oslego/chrome-backspace-back#from-source
