FFMSB (Freedom for mouse side buttons)

Prevents history navigation using forward and back buttons on your mouse

FFMSB Chrome Extension - Regain Control Over Your Mouse Side Buttons

FFMSB (Freedom for mouse side buttons) is a handy Chrome extension developed to prevent default actions (like forward/back history jumps) triggered by mouse side buttons. It's perfect for users who utilize these buttons in other applications operating alongside Chrome, such as VOIP software as push-to-talk buttons. Note that limitations apply in Chrome Web Store and Chrome menus due to security reasons.

Работает, я не понимаю почему эту функцию нужно вводить через сторонний софт, этого даже в флагах браузера нет (скрытые настройки разработчиков), бред не иначе, а расширение нормальное 5 звезд
