Where it helps
Docs
Documentation and wikis
Return to the table of contents without passing forty sections on the way.
Shops
Results and product grids
Long search results, catalogues and feeds are easier to restart from the top.
What it does
Off by default
It shows up only on the sites you enable. The popup lists them, each with a remove button.
positions
Upper, middle or lower, left, centre or right, picked on a small page preview that shows the real button.
position per site
Move it on one site and only that site remembers the new spot: bottom right on a forum, top left where a cookie bar is in the way.
Keyboard friendly
Tab to the button and press Enter or the space bar. A visible focus ring shows where you are.
Quiet on any page
Graphite or stone, never loud, readable on light and dark pages. A site's own styles can't distort it.
Settings sync
Your sites and positions follow you to other computers when Chrome sync is on.
How to get back to the top of a long page
On a phone you tap the top of the screen. On a laptop you drag the scrollbar, flick the trackpad again and again, or look for a Home key that many keyboards hide behind Fn.
Scroll to Top Button puts the way back on the page itself: a small round button in the corner of the sites you choose. It fades in after you scroll down a little and takes you to the top in one smooth motion.
Private by design
No account
Nothing to sign up for, nothing to log in to, no ads.
No tracking
No analytics, no network requests. It never reads or changes what is on the page.
Two permissions
Storage keeps your sites and positions. Active tab lets the popup see which site is open, to show the right switch.
Scrollbar and Home key vs Scroll to Top Button
| Scrollbar and Home key vs Scroll to Top Button | Scrollbar, trackpad, Home key | Scroll to Top Button |

| Motion | A jump, or as many flicks as the page is long | Glides smoothly to the top |
| Where it is | Every page | Only the sites you enable, in the corner you pick |
| Price | Built in | Free |
Questions
How do I add a back to top button to a website?
Add Scroll to Top Button to Chrome, open the site, click the toolbar icon and press Enable on this site. Scroll down a little and the button appears.
Why don't I see the button?
It's off by default. Enable it for the site in the popup, then scroll down a bit: it appears about 300 pixels below the top.
Can I move the button?
Yes. Pick one of nine positions in the popup. On an enabled site the spot is saved for that site only.
Can I turn it on for every website at once?
No. You enable sites one by one, so it never shows up where you don't need it.
Can it scroll to the bottom too?
No. It does one job: back to the top.
Does it work in web apps like chats or webmail?
It scrolls the page itself. Apps that keep the page still and scroll a panel inside it are left alone.
Can I use it with the keyboard?
Yes. Tab to the button and press Enter or the space bar.
Is it free? Does it collect any data?
It's free, with no account, no ads and no analytics, and it makes no network requests. It keeps only your sites and positions in Chrome sync.
