Extension Usage Instructions

                        Visual History delinearizes your browsing history with a richer alternative to the Back and Forward buttons. Instead of a stack of past websites, Visual History maintains the forest of trees that represent each tab’s path around the internet, and lets you easily backtrack to any site you recently visited. Routes that normally have to be manually re-traced, like jumping between search results or forum posts, can be intuitively and quickly directed without revisiting the parent page. 

Navigate the tree using the Ctrl+Arrow or Cmd+Arrow key shortcuts, or by clicking the tree icon in the toolbar.
