Stepup

Ever been deep inside a website or browsing your hard drive and wished you could just jump up a level without retyping the whole address?

StepUp shows you the complete hierarchy of any URL or folder path - every level from where you are right now all the way back to the root - and lets you navigate, copy or open any of them in one click.

Full hierarchy navigation - including subdomains
Most "go up a level" extensions stop at the domain and leave you stranded. StepUp goes further. If you're at shop.bbc.co.uk/products/item it will walk you up through every path level, then continue up through bbc.co.uk to the root domain - something most similar extensions simply don't do. Works on any depth of subdomain, and correctly handles complex domains like .co.uk, .com.au and .co.jp so it never strips too far.

Works on local files too
Not just websites - StepUp works on your hard drive. Browse to any local HTML file and it will map the full folder hierarchy so you can jump to any parent folder instantly. Great for developers previewing local projects or anyone browsing file archives.

Clean tracker junk automatically
If your current URL contains tracking parameters - UTM tags, Facebook click IDs, Amazon session tokens, Wikipedia share codes, TikTok trackers and 100+ others - StepUp shows you the cleaned version alongside the original so you can copy and share a link that doesn't follow people around.

Copy any level
Every level in the hierarchy has its own Copy button. Grab any URL in the trail without navigating away - useful for sharing a parent page, or copying a clean version of the current one.

Open in a new tab
Toggle New Tab mode in the toolbar to open any level alongside your current page rather than replacing it. Or just Ctrl+click any level for a one-off new tab. Useful when you want to explore a parent directory without losing your place.

Private and lightweight
No data collection. No external requests. No account needed. The extension never phones home - everything happens locally in your browser. No permissions beyond reading your current tab's URL.
