Go to parent directory

A toolbar action moves the browser one level up in the current URL path.

Code to copy

var path = location.pathname.replace(/\/+$/, '');
var parent = path.substring(0, path.lastIndexOf('/') + 1) || '/';
if (parent === location.pathname) {
  alert('Already at the root.');
} else {
  location.href = location.origin + parent;
}

How to use this example

1. Copy the code with the button above.
2. Install JustZix (2 minutes) and open the extension on the target page.
3. Add a new rule matching that page.
4. Enable the action panel, add a button in the Actions tab and paste the code into it — run it with one click.
