Tab Origin - Return to the page from which you opened this tab

Tab Origin is an Edge add-on that adds a button/shortcut to return to the page from which you opened the current tab. Never forget where your tab came from again! It allows you to jump straight back to the origin page or open it in a new tab if it's not already open. You can even use it recursively on tabs opened by tab origin as the extension tracks the history. Additionaly, when origin information is unavailable for a tab, a 'N/A' badge is shown. This Edge add-on is a port of the Tab Origin add-on from Firefox.

Add-on summary

Adds button/shortcut to return to the page from which you opened the current tab.

Never forget where your tab came from again! Have you ever spammed undo-close-tab multiple times to figure out what you accidentally closed a while back? Not again, activate this extension to jump straight there!

If origin page is already open, then we switch to that tab. Otherwise we open it in a new tab.

You can even use it recursively on tabs opened by tab origin; the extension tracks the history.

I suggest the shortcut is cmd/ctrl-shift-u, set from the bottom of Extensions page. When origin information is unavailable for a tab a "N/A" badge is shown.
