Some people seem to want to be able to have the delete key on a Mac behave as a backspace key and go back when navigating web pages (ie, this question here). As I commented there, I believe that this behavior on a Mac would be a bug, since the command-left arrow combination already lets the user go back. Furthermore, since Chrome doesn't save form information, going back is actually a serious hassle, because I'll lose all of my entered information with one errant keystroke.
So how can I turn this behavior off in Chrome on the Mac?
Hmm, I wonder if this can be accomplished (properly) with an extension. I suspect that it should be possible, but would not be something that could just be thrown together in a few minutes. I might give it a shot some time… – Synetech – 2012-10-01T01:30:34.573

This ticket advocates that the behavior be changed in Chromium. The problem is that there are many loud people who are on the "I want it to be a shortcut" side of the debate.
