I think comment #32 (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=608016...) is worth highlighting:

  If you can fill out a formular field correctly without losing focus, you are not part of Chrome's target audience.

  edit: Had to type this four times due to accidently going back.

Hah, that's funny! But also, comment #35 is on point:

> The problem: Moving away from a form can result in data loss.

> Your solution: Make it harder to move away.

> The correct solution: Cache tab history completely and make it easy to move forward and backward in a tab's history by reusing cache and maintaining form contents.

I never have this problem in Safari, and I use backspace all the time for navigating back.

That's funny, because I've got a brand new install of El Cap in from top me, and backspace does nothing in Safari. Maybe you turned on an option or accessibility feature somewhere?

Ditto...this (along with the fact that the width of tabs expands to fill the entire bar) is one of the main reasons I stopped using Safari and went back to Firefox.
