Information popup that appears when trying to navigate back using backspace is confusing

Reported by lutoma...@gmail.com, Jul 29 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.82 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
 Issue #608016  disables navigating back using backspace (which is a change I very much disagree with, but whatever). Now, when pressing backspace multiple times, Chrome instead shows a tooltip for an alternative key combo (Alt + Left arrow). However, on many keyboards, backspace also has a kinda left-arrow looking thing as symbol. So especially in the context of the previous shortcut and the fact the tooltip only shows up after users tried to use backspace, I think the tooltip can easily be confused to mean "Alt + Backspace". At least that's what I tried 5 times before checking out the bug tracker and realizing it's the left arrow.

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
