Fix Back Button
Extension Actions
Repairs websites where the back button doesn't work, forcing Chrome to navigate back correctly.
Fix Back Button repairs websites where the browser back button stops working. Some modern sites block or hijack your history, especially single-page apps and websites that override pushState or replaceState. This extension forces Chrome to correctly navigate back even when the page tries to prevent it.
When the user clicks the extension button, Fix Back Button triggers a real backward navigation attempt. It uses history.back() first, and if the site blocks it, the extension applies fallback methods like restoring a previous URL or forcing a full-page navigation. The extension also includes optional logic to detect manipulated history entries.
If the system cannot determine a valid previous page, the extension shows a message so the user knows what happened. Fix Back Button gives control back to the user when sites try to trap them.
