Reviews of last tab back:
doesn't work anymore
It gives you a special back button, but that's really all it does. You can neither assign this button to your mouse nor have it replace the default back button. Try the "Close on Back" extension if you'd like to have this functionality on your mouse.
Was hoping I could use the shoulder button my my mouse for this app, but it won't work.
It's like a special back button. Does not overwrite the standard back button, and the mouse buttons do not work. There is a special "custom button" setting in the extension, but it is keyboard only. A shame.
I really think the developer needs to read these reviews and take them seriously. Being able to use the mouse back button is really the only thing that would make an extension like this useful. What's the point of only allowing it to work on screen when I can simply close a tab by clicking the close button. Firefox has an extension that works perfectly, and Chrome (Chromium) has another extension which allows the user to go back, and close tabs using the middle click. Let's get this one right people.
Needs functionality to use mouse back buttons (ie. browser_back key)
Terribly coded. I want to use the back button on my mouse to close the tab, but that functionality isn't included.
Does what it is supposed to do -- give you a special back button. Unfortunately, the docs say there is no way to replace the standard back button, so it's of limited value. I guess I am mourning the loss of "back to close" Firefox extension.
it s a shame even if i set a shortcut inside ext i have to show icons in toolbar for the extension to work wasting space!!!
Sometimes when I hit Alt-LeftArrow to go back it will close the tab even when there are still previous pages to go back to
Worthless! Does nothing!!!
Thank You! This functionality is what kept me using Firefox over Chromium. I'm so used to navigate back by using the Backspace key, including seamless closing and going back to previous tab. In Firefox I have Back is Close add on, and rely on it all the time. I searched for something similar on Chrome a few times. Finally today I found your extension. You should consider adding 'Back is Close' tag to your entry in the web store so that people like me can find this wonderful add on easier.
If only it would work. Just works like 10% of the time. I just want it to close any tab you are on, if there is no more history for this tab. Update: seems not to work with my mouse back button. Only keyboard
Works as advertised (almost). Nice to be able to do in Windows what I do in Android all the time - close the newly opened tab and go back to the tab I came from. But to get it working with my MS mouse I had to set the left side button from the default Back to Keystroke>Alt-left arrow. Not sure I can tolerate the havoc that may cause in other programs like games. However, when doing this I discovered the right side button is Close by default, which pretty much does the same as this extension. -2 stars since it doesn't actually use the system 'Back' but rather forced me to reassign my mouse button.
Wonderful extension for Chrome! I was so desperate for a clone of Firefox's BackToClose that I almost wrote one myself. There is a conflict with the Crossfire extension which allows one to navigate links via the arrow keys. The back key won't close when Crossfire is active.
