Disable Backspace/Back Function on Google Chrome

Mapping the backspace key to the browser’s “Back” button has got to be one of the worst decisions in the history of software. While it’s easy to fix in Firefox, things are a bit trickier in Chrome. This BackspaceMeansBackspace plug-in takes care of things nicely.  

Somewhat ironically, it’s also very hard to find this plugin with a Google Search—making this one of the few instances where Facebook’s link recommendation system might actually be helpful for users who know what they are doing.

Now—can anyone find a solution in Safari?
