Extension summary

ezUP adds an up arrow button to the omnibox (address bar). When you press the button a list of urls appears that lets you navigate up through the site hierarchy from the current url.

Click the links to navigate to the urls within the tab or click the new tab/new window icons to open the urls in a new tab or new window.

Aditionally, from within a page, press the keyboard shortcut: ctrl+alt+u to go up one level immediately. The keyboard shortcut also works within frames on the page, so it will work within my ezLinkPreview extension popups: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nnkcfbiefgdaceeplickkkmifpicbpcc

User reviews

It gets the job done. I would prefer a different UI where a single click just goes up one level and where a right-click opens the menu we see today, but that's a matter of personal preference, not an actual problem.

Does exactly what it says it will do, and works consistently with no problems. Going up through the levels of a website is something I do constantly, and this little extension saves me a lot of time and keystrokes. Just one click for each level up, and there I am! I have also used EZ Link Preview and EZ Search Overlay by this same developer, and they are excellent as well
