Hacker News 上面出现了一个讨论(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11729287)，是关于 Google Chrome 去除了将 Backspace 键作为回退到上一个页面的快捷键功能。
我很惊讶很多人在回帖里面对 Chrome 开发者的这一决定表示支持，因为：

1. 我自己是个 backspace 键的重度用户。我尽量都是在用键盘快捷键在导航，除了 backspace，还有 Ctrl+w，f5，f6 。。。没兴趣从以前的 backspace 切换为两只手才能操作的 Ctrl+左方向键。
2. backspace 并不是很多人说的那么小众的导航键。相反，把它作为回退上页的功能来用的例子非常多，比如在 Windows 平台，File Explorer 里面也是可以用它回退到上一页面的。
3. Google Chrome 得了 Apple 的病。一直以来我都觉得 Chrome 其实更像是个 Apple 弄出来的浏览器，标榜着自己比用户更懂一切。而我不想被当作傻瓜。

我觉得我还是继续用 Firefox 吧

Ever thought Google Chrome’s shortcut apps (e.g. Gmail, Youtube…) were really suck?

I bet you do! What’s the point of this kinda so-called apps anyway? Aren’t Chrome’s Most visited page and bookmark bar better than this?

But… surprise! I just found the good side of some of these shitty apps!

Before install the Youtube app, the error message is really ugly, unfriendly, even makes you can’t tell which part is the real article’s content:

After install the Youtube app:

Ah! It makes sense now.

Another example:

I’m in China, Youtube has been blocked here for a long time (fuck this!), any web page that embedded Youtube’s videos would cause the web browsers to generate error massages, which is really annoying. This Chrome apps’ new feature, helps me a lot.
