Starting with version 52, the backspace key isn't a valid shortcut for
going back to the previous page. This is a conscious design decision.

There are extensions that allow enabling the backspace key as a
shortcut, if you really need that.

Title:
  Unable to go back by pressing the Backspace key.

Status in Chromium Browser:
  Unknown
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Backspace usually has the function of going back a page. Similar to
  pressing the Back Arrow button on the top left (Chromium 15.0.x).

  Unfortunately, this is not the case.
  Nothing happens when the Backspace key is pressed.

  Alt+LeftArrow key combination does work. However, the use of Backspace
  should also be a part of the originally intended key bindings for this
  action.
