I resisted this change (in Firefox) because I thought it was horribly unintuitive. Oh, how backwards I had gotten it.

Alt+Left arrow makes _loads_ more sense than "Backspace, but conditionally, only when not engaged in a text entry field."

The main problem I run into with it is webcomics bind left/right to page navigation, and aren't smart enough to not do it when alt is held.

I absolutely hate the new way! Used to be so much better by just clicking Backspace. Can I have it back,please?

You can do that in Firefox.

That's when I switched to Firefox. I've been using the backspace key to go to the previous page or directory since the mid-90's and I never accidently left a page when trying to delete stuff.

good point
