Pitch

We're all doing the same searches again & again on the internet, sometimes to try to find back a page we visited some time ago.

It takes time and discipline to manage bookmarks, or search our history, and we usually end up just searching again for the page we want to go back to.

This little WebExtension saves the last 5 links you clicked for a given search, and the next time you do the same search, shows them to you. It's like an automatic bookmarker.

What it does

This extension includes:

  • a content script, "content-script.js", that is injected into all pages
  • a background script, "background-script.js"
  • a toolbar page, in toolbar"

The content script listens for clicks in the page it's attached to. If a click is on a link, on a DuckDuckGo results page, the content script sends the link to the background script, with its associated search term.

The background script listens for this message. When the background script receives the message, it stores the linked page with its associated search term.

When the user search for the same term again, if the storage has URLs stored, a footer displays them. The user can click on them or remove them.
