Disable Overscroll History

Prevent horizontal scrolling from triggering forward / backward page navigation.

Disable Overscroll History - Chrome Extension

"Disable Overscroll History" is a Chrome extension designed to prevent accidental forward and backward page navigation caused by horizontal overscroll. Since Chrome 80, the ability to disable this feature was removed, leading to potential frustration and data loss. This extension uses the `overscroll-behavior` CSS property to maintain a smooth browsing experience across most websites. Note that refreshing your tabs after installation is required, and some built-in browser pages may still exhibit overscroll navigation.
