    I recently started using Google Chrome for my browser.

    I miss the topmost arrows for Backwards/Forward when browsing.
    I see that the Backspace works for Backwards but I am not aware of anything for Forward.

    Can the missing arrows be added or at least a hotkey for Forward?

    The back/forward arrows show in my install of Chrome - which I use once in a blue moon for image upload to specific sites which request it's use.

    Ditto. The arrows should both always be there.

    the arrows disappear in full screen mode (F11). are you in full screen?
    the keyboard shortcut for forward is Shift+Backspace.

    Checking full screen mode that is correct. Same happens in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer - clearly the way the interface is designed.

    Try this - from here ....
    Seems a heavy price to pay for the small increase in screen real estate :)

    F11 to undo full screen mode fixed it.

    Thanks for all the help guys.
