Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Chrome removed the ability of backspace to navigate back.

What is the expected behavior?
Going back.

What went wrong?
I read the entire thread related to why the Chromium team decided to remove the functionality. As many people pointed out, the "fix" you put in place was a blunt hammer approach where using a scalpel would have better addressed the issue. Modifying fundamental functionality to address a miniscule percent of the use cases is never the correct approach.

Now here's my issue. I see that you've created an official extension to restore the back button functionality. However, Chrome is locked by my work's system administrator and it will not allow me to install the extension. So I do not have the option to go back to the original behavior. 

This is clearly a scenario that you did not consider when deciding to create an extension rather than a setting checkbox. I understand the ethos of reducing setting options and streamlining configuration. But you haven't considered how fundamental the functionality you're changing is. This is the way browsers work, fundamentally, since they were created back in Mozilla days. 

To change this functionality without providing 100% recourse to undo it is sloppy and not what I expect of Chromium or Google. It's sad when Internet Explorer works better.
