Tab Origin Chrome Extension

Tab Origin is a Chrome extension that provides a shortcut to return to the original page from which you opened the current tab. It solves the problem of navigating back to the search page without having to search your history or use the undo close tab feature. The extension can even be used recursively on tabs opened by Tab Origin, as it tracks the history. Simply use the cmd/ctrl-shift-u shortcut to access this convenient functionality.
