It's perfect! exactly what I wanted Some websites just open files in new tabs when you click on them, now I can use my mouse back button to go back. It just doesn't work on new tabs which is fine by me

사파리에서만 되던 기능을 크롬에서도 쓸 수 있어서 너무 좋습니다. 진짜 좋아요.

I like it. But can you add a function that when it closed the tab by clicking back that it reopens the tab if i click forward?

Can you also do a reopen last tab on no more forward? Basically to counteract a misjudged back that ends up closing a wanted new tab.

This would get a higher rating from me because it is indispensible, but I've discovered that it interferes with the Google Calendar, specifically quite often when I try to edit a calendar event, the browser tab closes. If I turn off the "Close on Back" extension, the problem goes away. This is a bug that should be fixable.

Worked once and never worked again, you may as well give up at this point cause it is obvious you don't know what you are doing. This add on hasn't worked since Google removed it and it came back???
