Middle Click To Go Back Extension

Enhance your browsing experience with the Middle Click To Go Back extension! Navigate effortlessly and customize your middle mouse button for intuitive actions.

Features:
- Click the middle mouse button on an empty space on a web page to go back in your browsing history.
- Optionally, middle-clicking closes the current tab if there is no page to go back to. You have control over this behavior.
- Default actions, such as opening links in a new tab or closing a tab with middle-click, remain unaffected. On Linux, you can also paste using the middle mouse button as always.
- Seamless compatibility tested on both Windows and Linux operating systems.

- Version 1.8: Works on \"tabless windows\" too.
- Version 1.7: Optional behavior for middle-click to close the current tab.
- Version 1.6.3.3: Bug fixes.
- Version 1.6.3: Improved stability by changing the onclick event to mouseup.
- Version 1.6.2: Optional feature no longer closes the browser.
- Version 1.6.1: Added options to enable/disable the feature.
- Version 1.6: Middle-click closes the current tab if no page to go back.
- Version 1.5: Now works seamlessly on Windows.

Zach (ID: 0000003eb16592c6) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/10/2021 I would like the option of a hotkey to temporarily disable so we can use the normal middle button scroll function; like Shift + middle button to scroll left/right...
