All True Hackers use shift-h anyways ;-) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vimium/dbepggeogba...
Vimium is incredible.

IIRC there was some tedious justification for firefox about this being 'more correct' since escape would close websocket connections and pause javascripts and other fancy modern cruft sites rely on. There's an extension (SuperStop I believe?) that partly restores it if you shift-esc, but recently I've found that invasive keybindings in pages (Slack, I think?) can intercept this and stop it working. I'd really like a…
BetterStop [1] restores the old behaviour well. [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/betterstop/
This is most annoying. I have used this for the past twenty years and have not lost form data using it. In any event, chrome seems to remember form contents upon navigating back to a form page. Leave my muscle memory alone please.
Backspace (despite the name) is for deletion, should only be for deletion, and avoids confusion by only being for deletion. Period.
I don't see what's so hard about control/command-leftbracket or left arrow or whatever you want to assign to "go back". At least you won't accidentally wipe a form.
Anyway, this isn't about you or me, as someone else said, because forward state could be theoretically preserved. The problem is the 99% of "regular people" who will hit Backspace, not realize that they DIDN'T just lose their form and can just hit Forward again, and will redo the work and get frustrated.

No, that would be because you didn't know what standard keyboard layouts are. * CAN/CSA Z243.200-92 is a standard keyboard layout. One Alt modifier, one level 3 shift: https://www.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/images/ti/clavier.gif * DIN 2137-1:2012-06 T3 is a standard keyboard layout. One Alt modifier, one level 3 shift: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:German-T2-Keyboard-Proto... * ABNT NBR 10346 2 is a standard keyboard layo…
You're taking what I said too literally. If you go to a store and buy an off the shelf PC, a very common keyboard will come with it that has 2 ALTs.

> because they do impose a constant and non-trivial burden on everyone else (especially in cases like backspace which are relatively easy to hit on accident). So make them an option and stop taking the Chrome route of stripping out everything that more advanced users use regularly. Of course, this is why I run Firefox. I can do things like force OCSP enabled and get error pages when it fails - Chrome's solution was t…
> Chrome's solution was to call OCSP useless because their less technical users couldn't understand it. OCSP introduced a non-trivial delay (cited as ~300ms to a second) and there are also privacy concerns with it as well[1]. There's also the fact that it's set to soft-fail when the OCSP servers can't be contacted making it useless in that case[2]. Even if we ignore the above reasons for its exclusion from Chrome the…
Yes, notice that I called for OCSP force/required, not just OCSP soft-fail. I've been running OCSP required for years and never had any noticeable slowdown. Maybe there's one on the first connection of the day to a site or something?
Chrome's CRLSets are extremely limited and cannot begin to capture the full number of domains which have been revoked. They can get the most popular sites and that's about it.
OCSP stapling is the superior solution which will solve this in Chrome and other browsers, but for now OCSP is the only reasonable solution in a world where millions of SSL certificates have leaked and been revoked and you care about your privacy. CloudFlare alone revoked millions of certificates. These have indeed not all made it into the CRLsets.
An excellent summary of the problems is here: https://www.grc.com/revocation/crlsets.htm
Chrome's CRLsets contain less than 1% of current revoked certificates. I can't in good faith call that a valid solution to the problem.

I thought Alt+Left arrow and Alt+right arrow (or some variant) were universal?
Alt+Left requires moving both hands, Backspace is only one finger away If only Alt-Gr+Left or Right Ctrl+Left worked...
I am looking forward to this update.
I'm glad the sharing of telemetry pays off in features sometimes.
Looking forward to this update.

Nope. Just done that, in a tree view. Took me to folder 2
They must haved changed the behavior. I tried that on Windows 7 with a network drive.
