FFMSB (Freedom for mouse side buttons)
Description from store

This extension prevents default actions (forward/back history jumps) for mouse side buttons (4 and 5)

FAQ:
Q: Why do you need a permission to change contents for all websites?
A: Because it allows this extension to inject 5 lines of JavaScript code into webpages, preventing default mouse actions. You can verify the contents of injected code using dev tools (F12) -> Sources -> Content scripts (on the left side) -> FFMSB. Contents of this file are also provided in screenshots section because there's nothing else to take screenshots of :)

Q: IT DOES NOT WOOOOORK :((((
A: It does, except for 2 cases :)
1. Chrome Web Store (extensions are not allowed to use content scripts here due to security reasons)
2. Chrome menus, including the entire top bar (again, it's impossible to intercept shortcuts while your mouse is there)

Q: Who is this made for?
A: For people who use these buttons in other applications running alongside Chrome - for example, in VOIP software as push-to-talk button

In theorie this works fine, but the issue is that it assumes that mouse 3 and 4 are the extra buttons, but for my mouse for example its 4 and 5, so only 4 gets disabled.

let us unbind only one back button

Sadly, Google is a tiny indie company, and coding something as complex as an option to alter these buttons' behavior would totally crack the budget.

Works great for me! If it's not working, make sure to restart chrome/edge.

Not the fault of the developer, but this is useless since it doesn't work in the menu.

Works as advertised. Might need to go into settings and enable for all webpages if you don't want to do it manually. I now no longer run the risk of losing data by simply grabbing my mouse wrong.

Works perfectly. Thank you so much. Do note that if you unplug or plug in a new mouse, you may need to reinstall the extension.

THANK YOU! I use one of my mouse buttons for Discord Push-to-talk and having it constantly send me back to a previous page was insanely annoying. Worked like a charm after I did a browser restart!
