What is History Button?

'History Button' is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to enhance user access to browser history. It adds a shortcut button, encouraging more efficient browsing by directing you to your history in a new tab, or switches to the history tab if it's already open. Unlike a bookmark, it secures against opening multiple browser history tabs. Related extensions include 'Chrome Downloads Button' and 'Chrome Extensions Button'.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This is a simple lightweight extension that adds a shortcut button to your browser for quick access to your history. It either opens a new tab, or switches to the history tab if you already have it open in another tab.

You could nearly accomplish the same thing if you made a bookmark, but this assures you won't open multiple tabs.
