provide option to re-enable backspace for navigation

Reported by middl...@gmail.com, Aug 9 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. open page, click link
2. hit backspace
3. you are prompted to use a different key combo

What is the expected behavior?
I should expect the most basic element of how I browse the web wouldn't be changed by default without my input, and that the page navigates back.

What went wrong?
Chromium developers thought that power users wouldn't mind, they were wrong.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 52.0.2743.116  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.11.4
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0

it's hard to describe how jarring this change is, please provide an option to restore this behavior or add keybinding support quickly.

I think everybody who are concerned by this issue should  put a star on it and all related issues by pressing on icon at the left top corner
If you change hotkey which have 1st place of use count from users- You must do good alternative. ALT + ← can't be pressed with 1 hand. Alt Gr (Right alt) not work for this. So to go back people must use 2 hand - It's terrable!!!
I never see so bad changes and invalid solutions for a small % of people. For noobs(like my grandma) who can't normal use browser. I use browsers about 20years and I never lost data with this hotkey.
BACK IT ASAP! or add an option to TURN ON!
