Upshift Extension

When you click on the Upshift icon, it will pop up a list of new addresses that you can select, which all go increasingly higher in the address of the site you are currently viewing.

You can use shift+click to open the address in a new window, or ctrl+click / middle mouse click to open the address in a new tab. There is a keyboard shortcut, ctrl+up, that allows you to go up one level in the current address.

Upshift does not use your data for any other purpose, or save or send anywhere.

Newtomic (ID: 0000003dbe01bca0) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/29/2022 I like this extension, but it has an annoying bug... To reproduce the bug: -1. open the browser clean (if possible). -2. open 2 or 3 tabs with different websites (preferably). -3. open a new window and in the new tab open a different website from the ones already opened in the other window. -4. use the extension in the new tab from the new window, the options shown are from the 1st window selected tab. Please please please fix. :-) Thanks for your work. ;-) I'm currently using the "Breadcrumb Navigator" ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/breadcrumb-navigator/hphdahmligbkhjoedbpeoigbmopehdhm ) as an alternative to this one.

Isaac Zhang (ID: 0000008b9262acf2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/25/2019 Good extension indeed! Would you please add page titles beside the history list so that I can easily find the page I am looking for?

Ben Havens (ID: 00000038dc743d09) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/13/2019 Functionality is perfect, but the button icon is hard to see with a dark theme.

Timwi Terby (ID: 00000037a94b064e) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/08/2018 The Ctrl+Up shortcut advertised does not work. It just does nothing. Unfortunately I was looking specifically for something with a shortcut. :(
