> I hate backspace-to-go-back. It's the worst feature in a browser. Is there a way to turn it off?

I love this feature. Makes browser navigation keyboard friendly.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

What about [alt]+arrow?

I really like Cmd+[ and Cmd+] for back/forward. Also because Cmd+Shift+[ and Cmd+Shift+] are tab prev/tab next.

It's also "the worst" feature in Windows Explorer folder view; when it switched from going up the folder tree to going to the previous folder and throwing an error if that folder doesn't exist anymore.

In Chrome I think you can only do this with an extension. I use BackStop.

I love backspace = back button. What I need is delete = forward, so I can undo the action when I accidentally trigger it.
