Summary

A must-have extension for reading online books, documentation, tutorials, and blogs! Easily navigate in between webpages with these extremely simple keyboard shortcuts:

Space Bar - navigates to the next page when scrolled to the bottom Shift + Space Bar - navigates to the previous page when scrolled to the top.

(Use the Option key instead of the Ctrl key on Mac)

Ctrl + Right - navigates to the next page Ctrl + Left - navigates to the previous page Ctrl + Up - navigates to section's index page Ctrl + Shift + Up - navigates to the top page

Uses HTML's rel attribute and smart link detection to determine where to go. Currently rel="next", rel="prev", rel="up", and rel="top" are supported.

User reviews
In general, I liked this a lot. The one criticism I have is that there's no way to either change the shortcuts or to disable a given action. This means that if you're using this on a laptop with no PageUp key, you might have trouble, since the shortcut for going to the section page overrides the normal behavior of Ctrl+Up that uses it as PageUp.
