story time: this one time at a conference I sat with a whole table of google design/usability people and it was a fiasco, one of the sessions had some group work and when we were supposed to generate ideas they were unable to translate them onto a piece of easel paper with markers within the 30 minute time limit and just picked my idea because I could draw basic shapes and text, like I drew a quick outline of the shape of california and they were like whoa that's really good [it wasn't] and they looked confused when I used more than one color of marker because "wireframes are supposed to be greyscale" they were also super quiet and mumbly I think since goog developers would never hire anyone who would deign to disagree with the Smartest People In The Room

basically most hci masters holders can't design poo poo [because hci isn't a design program] and google almost exclusively hires hcis

opera has a batter saver mode which is shameful to need in the first place but as shaggar says: "slowkit"

i would just reach over with my pinky and hit the back button next to my thinkpad's arrow keys but it's still nice to be able to press backspace to go back as is customary and normal

opera suits my tab needs much better than chrome, and seems better and faster overall

i use 3 finger swipe to go back, my only wish is that you could change the swipe direction because you have to swipe to the left to go back but with every other apple device you swipe to the right to go back

backspace was one of the first lesser know shortcuts i learned and impressed plebeians with. soon i would learn Super + D to get to the desktop. great for emergency porn hiding.

I already use alt+ left to go back because it always consistently works whereas backspace doesn't work if the wrong thing on the page has focus
