Remember the page scroll position

When you return to the page it scrolls back to where you last stopped reading.

Code to copy

var key = 'jz-scroll:' + location.pathname + location.search;
try {
  var saved = parseInt(sessionStorage.getItem(key) || '0', 10);
  if (saved > 0) {
    window.requestAnimationFrame(function () {
      window.scrollTo(0, saved);
    });
  }
} catch (e) {}
window.addEventListener('scroll', function () {
  try { sessionStorage.setItem(key, String(window.scrollY)); } catch (e) {}
}, { passive: true });

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. Paste the code into the rule's JavaScript panel and save — it runs on every page visit.

Does this example work?

Snippets are useless without somewhere to paste them.

JustZix takes 2 minutes to install and runs your code on every matching page. No account, no payment.
