Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Easy access to the back and forward buttons just like a smartphone. It sits near your mouse cursor is. Browse more, save time. It's a nifty little utility that really works.

New version 1.8 minor fixes to code.

Version 1.7 You can move the buttons anywhere on the page by clicking anywhere on the page. Then, pressing and holding down "Alt + m" keys and moving your mouse cursor. Release the keys when you want the buttons to their position.

Version 1.6 You can now go to your browsing history by hovering your mouse on the "Back" button. Here, you can click links that instantly brings you back to web pages you visited (except Google News since it's a one-page website).

To pin a link, just hover your mouse on the "Back" button and you will see pin icons on the right of the links. Click these icons you wish to pin.

Just hover your mouse on the "Forward" button, and here you will see your "pinned" links.

Pretty good, but I hate that the history list automatically pops up when I press the back button. Also, I wish it could be re-positioned and maybe resized.
