Bug: No functionality on pages blocked by extension

[GeitHub]

Using Chromium version 53 on Debian Testing (Linux)

To recreate this bug:

1. Download Backspace to go Back
2. Download EFF's HTTPS Everywhere
3. Click on the extension
4. Toggle "Block all unencrypted requests"
5. Visit an https:// URL Washington Post
6. Visit an http:// URL New York Times
7. Receive "ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT" page
8. Attempt to use backspace to go back functionality
9. No bueno

Possible Solution:

1. Visit this Chrome flag:
   chrome://flags/#extensions-on-chrome-urls
2. As the flag's description states "explicitly request this permission"
3. ???? (I'd imagine this would mean updating the manifest file?)
4. Profit????

btw, I hope that you don't stop supporting the extension simply in favor of Google's extension, as with theirs it requires you to accept their terms and it isn't open source.
