# Disable Back Button Extension
This lightweight Chrome extension prevents the browser's Back button from navigating away from the current page.
## 🔧 Features
- Stops accidental navigations using the Back button for specified websites (see `manifest.json`)
- Injects a script on specified HTTP/HTTPS pages
- Useful for web dashboards, apps, or local UIs like Synology DSM
## 🧪 How to Use
1. Clone or download this repository
2. Open `chrome://extensions` in Chrome
3. Enable **Developer Mode** (top right corner)
4. Click **"Load unpacked"** (top left corner) and select the project folder
## 🛠 How It Works
The extension injects a small script that:
- Adds a dummy history state
- Replaces the back navigation with another pushState, keeping the user on the page
## 🔒 Permissions
- No special permissions needed.
- Runs only as a content script on HTTP/HTTPS URLs.
