(Get the code!)
While I agree that having the backspace button do nothing makes more sense than having it do page up I still don�t think it�s good enough.
I've been using backspace to go back on webpages for years in various browsers and I can�t remember ever loosing any data because of it. If data loss was common, me and other wouldn't use it of course. And even if you go back by misstake when editing something it should still be there when you click forward again.
I don't see the problem here. Why not just leave the keybinding as it always have been? You�re not enhancing the browser in any way by remvoing functionality that people use. Especially not when the new behaviour differs from other browsers.
