I activated all the material things from chrome://flags. Looks good.

I don't like it at all. I don't like the font or the color.

Maybe I'm just being an old stick in the mud but I don't like change. Anyone know if I can change it back?

MAKE BACKSPACE BUTTON TO GO BACK A FUCKING FLAG GOD DAMN IT

BACKSPACE TO GO BACK
BACKSPACE TO GO BACK
BACKSPAAACE TO GO BAAAAACK

Backspace to go back is worst idea ever.
kys

lots of things are bad ideas. at some point it's better to stay with the convention unless there's a very good reason. right now all backspace does (in chrome) is bitch about how backspace doesn't go back anymore.

also, you misspelled kiss, buddy!

i use it all the fucking time. go fuck yourself

No.

it's one of those things that NEEDS to be an option.

not him, but if they're freeing it up for something later (unlikely, but who knows) or something, then they really don't want to leave space for an option.

no they are not.

Pajeets are behind this decision.

Based Sarjoor, he is right you know.

>Currently, the Chrome flag is not yet 100 percent a certainty, and Google engineers are still pondering whether to re-add this feature to Chrome as a separate extension, just to avoid bringing another flag to the browser's already-complex source code.

FUCK YOU FAGGOTS IT'S ONE LINE OF SOURCE CODE I ALREADY RECOMPILED MY OWN CHROMIUM WITH THE OPTION. ITS' NOT HARD, YOU'RE JUST HUMONGOUS FAGGOTS. FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

>PANDER TO ME!!!! NOW!!!!
Calm your autism spergasaurus-rex.

It's not about pandering. It's about being decent software developers.

It's one line of code which THEY DELETED

It looks even worse than it used to, and it's always looked like shit.

quick protip:

just because a pajeet is active in online forums doesn't mean he had any influence in the decision. pajeets seem to be under some delusion that being super helpful will earn attention from people in power, so they helpfully answer all this shit all the time (i run an online community as part of some research i'm doing, and indians join, post a fuckton, then ask me if they can get RA jobs or something crazy and scammy-sounding even though an american phd student literally can't even do that)

the "this has been confirmed by developers" shit makes it even more obvious. he wasn't involved in the decision. he's just an avid observer

>It's one line of code which THEY DELETED
For good reason, it's fucking annoying.

what is an option?

I hope one of your favorite features gets removed without you being able to do anything about it. Then you'll feel the way I feel

The majority overrules. Sorry.

It's okay, i'm uploading my own fork of chrome that keeps backspace to go back as an option (disabled by default)

Why even bother though?

you're allowed to do that. you're also allowed to make an extension that makes the backspace button go back in history by one under the right circumstances (no text boxes active, etc...)

aren't you? it's simple tab and history manipulation.

that's a convoluted way to do it. Blink has the feature built into it's API.

sure. point being though that someone who wants this could implement it really easily. it would be a very trivial extension. google definitely wouldn't block it like they did with the (((jew))) thing.

why would they even bother to not put it in as an option?

because in spite of what some fuckface at Google thinks is best for me, I'm going to use my computer the way I want.

there's already an extension. Extensions do not observe the UNIX tenants.

I'm doing it right, by keeping it simple, and using the native API.

Mouse 4, man, mouse 4

using the API provides a better user experience. Something Google doesn't give a fuck about anymore, apparently.

I use a laptop. Aren't the people at google supposed to be intelligent enough to think of all possibilities? Ostensibly they are not.

They finally did away with that backspace thing? If so I can get rid of this Shortkeys extension I'd been using to disable it. God that was the dumbest shortcut in history.
>let's set a key often used when filling out forms to a function that will delete everything in the form!

This is not even a navigation issue. This is an accessability issue.

There are people with only one arm, hell people with NO ARMS using Chrome, and now they have to do extra work just to go back a page.

I use Backspace to navigate back on my laptop(t500) also. I only run Firefox on it tho, as it's manly for writing/reading/research. I hope you find a workaround, things like this have driven me a little crazy also.

The offending segment of code. Will be rectified shortly.
void KeyboardEventManager::defaultKeyboardEventHandler(
KeyboardEvent* event, Node* possibleFocusedNode)
{
if (event->type() == EventTypeNames::keydown) {
m_frame->editor().handleKeyboardEvent(event);
if (event->defaultHandled())
return;

// Do not perform the default action when inside a IME composition context.
// TODO(dtapuska): Replace this with isComposing support. crbug.com/625686
if (event->keyCode() == kVKeyProcessKey)
return;
if (event->key() == "Tab") {
defaultTabEventHandler(event);
} else if (event->key() == "Backspace") {
defaultBackspaceEventHandler(event);
} else if (event->key() == "Escape") {
defaultEscapeEventHandler(event);
} else {
WebFocusType type = focusDirectionForKey(event->key());
if (type != WebFocusTypeNone)
defaultArrowEventHandler(type, event);
}
}
if (event->type() == EventTypeNames::keypress) {
m_frame->editor().handleKeyboardEvent(event);
if (event->defaultHandled())
return;
if (event->charCode() == ' ')
defaultSpaceEventHandler(event, possibleFocusedNode);
}
}

More. The code is in KeyboardEventManager.cpp

Disappointed in them for not doing something so trivial as making this a checkbox, or flag
/* This should have been an option in the first place. >:( */
void KeyboardEventManager::defaultBackspaceEventHandler(KeyboardEvent* event)
{
DCHECK_EQ(event->type(), EventTypeNames::keydown);

if (!RuntimeEnabledFeatures::backspaceDefaultHandlerEnabled())
return;

if (event->ctrlKey() || event->metaKey() || event->altKey())
return;

if (!m_frame->editor().behavior().shouldNavigateBackOnBackspace())
return;
UseCounter::count(m_frame->document(), UseCounter::BackspaceNavigatedBack);
if (m_frame->page()->chromeClient().hadFormInteraction())
UseCounter::count(m_frame->document(), UseCounter::BackspaceNavigatedBackAfterFormInteraction);
bool handledEvent = m_frame->loader().client()->navigateBackForward(event->shiftKey() ? 1 : -1);
if (handledEvent)
event->setDefaultHandled();
}

Shortkeys.

No, it's time for Chrome to use its dominant market position to get rid of this retarded keybind once and for all. If you want it, use an extension to set it.

>Chrome
>dominant market position

internet explorer still owns the market

I just set it in code, fuckface. extensions are for topcucks

eh, not Firefox?

Looks the same 2bh

Have they made it so that the close buttons are always hidden on inactive tabs yet?

Of course they haven't, because its a feature that people actually want.

>not making your own web browser from scratch since a year and a half ago that is faster than Chromosome with your own rendering engine.
Had a good kek

pretty sure it hasn't for a while.

whats changed i cant see

When will the summer end?

What's the problem with people trying to show off their skills to get jobs and improve their lives? Would you prefer if they lived in poverty watching animes forever, using Linux and complaining about the world?

So can someone tell me how I can go back to the previous page on my keyboard with hitting Alt-Left Arrow? Shit's annoying as fuck on a laptop

>improve their lives
this isn't the Sup Forums humor thread, is it?

o i am laffin

Care to share your browser?
