David Charlap (ID: 000000555de5c4c9) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/09/2021 Doesn't work with Brave version 1.26.74 (Chromium 91.0.4472.124) on macOS Catalina. The arrow changes color when there is a level up to move to and the menu populates correctly, but clicking it does nothing. The WebExtension works great in the latest Firefox, but something in the current Chromium engine breaks it. Hopefully the author can fix it soon, but I'm going to be removing it in favor of someone else's extension.

Eli Katz (ID: 000000ed471cb580) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/01/2021 July 1, 2021: been dead for a while now. this used to be super useful. disappointed it no longer works. update 9/26/2017: recent update has improved experience. less misfires. i changed my rating from 3 to 4 stars. got potential, but sometimes fails miserably and instead of navigating "up" it navigates away to some other page /site that is open in another tab.
