You can:\n\n---\n\n### \u2705 1. Check for the Edge Flag (Older Versions Only)\n\nIn the past, Edge had an experimental flag called \"Assigns the Backspace key to go back a page.\" If your version of Edge still has this flag:\n\n1. Open Edge.\n2. Go to the address bar and type: `edge://flags/#edge-backspace-key-navigate-page-back`\n3. Press Enter.  \n4. Find the flag \"Assigns the Backspace key to go back a page\".\n5. Set it to **Enabled**.\n6. Restart Edge.\n\nIf this flag is present and enabled, you\u2019ll be able to press **Backspace** to go back a page, and **Shift + Backspace** to go forward. ([tenforums.com](https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/160542-enable-backspace-key-go-back-page-microsoft-edge-chromium.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \u26a0\ufe0f 2. This Flag Is Likely Gone in Newer Edge Releases\n\nMany users have reported that the flag is no longer available in recent stable builds of Edge. That means you won\u2019t see it in `edge://flags` anymore. ([elevenforum.com](https://www.elevenforum.com/t/assigns-the-backspace-key-to-go-back-a-page-gone-from-edge-flags.39605/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f 3. Use an Extension\n\nIf your version of Edge doesn\u2019t include the flag:\n\n- Search the **Microsoft Edge Add-ons store** or the **Chrome Web Store** (Edge supports Chrome extensions) for something like *\"Go Back With Backspace\"*.  \n- Install the extension, then follow its setup. These extensions typically re-enable the behavior so Backspace navigates back unless you're typing in a text field.
