Extension summary

--JumpBack Button-- August 21, 2014 Extension Created by Brian Slakter and Andrew Packer

This extension allows a user to navigate back in their browser history, skipping over pages with a URL that match the current page URL up to its final directory. As an example, the JumpBack Button can be used to return to a Yelp search after navigating through photos of a restaurant. Also useful for websites that contain articles in slideshow format.

User reviews

For a while, I've been wondering why a tool like this didn't exist. This is extremely useful for websites where there are slideshows and other presentations that would otherwise require multiple uses of the back button to return to the search page. Great tool.
