Darren Z (ID: 000000cae9d277ac) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/02/2018 It works as advertised. Just wish the buttons could be repositioned (I would prefer them in the top right) and that they had better contrast on dark pages.

Scott Carpenter (ID: 000000dbf85b661d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/01/2016 My point of view might be skewed, since I created this extension, but I wanted these buttons and they do exactly what I want with no issues. I saw lots of extensions that added a go to top button but none that added back and forward.
