Breadcrumb Navigator Extension

Description:
=========
This extension allows users to navigate any URL in a breadcrumb-like way. There are two navigational options users can choose from: breadcrumb style or folder style. See the screenshots for an example of each. The extension allows for navigating on subdomain level (code.google.com => google.com), path level (google.com/search => google.com), or a mixture of both (chrome.google.com/extensions => google.com), including Ajax sites (example.com/#ajax-state => example.com). In addition to that the extension in the present free version rewrites links to Amazon.com to contain an Amazon associate tag if there is not already another associate tag available. The Amazon brand name is property of Amazon.com. This extension is not associated with or sponsored by the trademark owner.

DrunkenGekko (ID: 00000057cbcc6e2f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/03/2016 Good extension, too bad you can't click the parts of the URL directly in Adressbar like its possible in "Advanced Locationbar" for firefox.

Timothy Cooper (ID: 0000009120bd3448) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/21/2012 A very decent extension! Unfortunately, Google has its own 404 page handler which Breadcrumb can't hook into. That means you have to middle-click on a 404 page and open a new tab that way. It's a little cumbersome, at least on my mouse. Right-click would be preferable, but at least it works.

(ID: ) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/10/2012 Am using this, clicking on a breadcrumb doesn't work, as well as middle-click/ctrl-click opens the item twice.. Outside that pretty neat.
