## Description

Floating Navigation is an innovative Chrome extension that replaces non-working or broken navigation buttons on your phone with a soft, movable navigation bar displayed on your screen. It provides essential navigation functions such as back, home, and recent actions, along with convenient shortcuts for taking screenshots and locking the screen.

The navigation bar is flexible and can be placed anywhere on the screen to suit your preference. It requires accessibility service permission to enable core functionalities but respects user privacy by not reading sensitive data or sharing it with third parties. This extension is ideal for users facing issues with physical navigation buttons or malfunctioning on-screen navigation panels.
