About this extension
Ever clicked away too fast and lost the exact video, post, thumbnail, image, or page content you were looking at?

Rewind gives you a quick way back.

Modern websites like YouTube, Reddit, social feeds, dashboards, and web apps often change pages without a full reload. Rewind watches for fast page changes and temporarily saves a short-lived local snapshot of the previous page state.

When you need it, open the Rewind popup and click Restore Last Page State. Rewind shows a fullscreen restore overlay with saved links, titles, thumbnails, images, visible media references, and page content so you can find what you lost.

Features:
• Restore the page state after reloads, redirects, fast clicks, and SPA navigation
• Recover visible links, titles, thumbnails, images, and media references
• Works globally on normal http/https websites
• Restores content in a temporary fullscreen overlay
• Keeps restored links clickable
• Includes fallback recovery cards for modern SPA pages
• Stores snapshots locally only
• No cloud APIs, analytics, trackers, or external servers

Privacy:
Rewind stores temporary snapshots locally in your browser using browser.storage.local. It does not transmit, upload, sell, share, or sync page content, URLs, browsing history, images, videos, or snapshots to any external server.

How to use:
1. Browse normally.
2. If a page reloads, redirects, or changes too fast, open Rewind.
3. Click Restore Last Page State.
4. Find the lost title, thumbnail, image, post, or link.
