Rewind to quickly access certain points in your browsing history

With Rewind, you can jump back quickly to certain points in your browsing history. You can activate Rewind by pressing Shift+Z on your keyboard or clicking on the "Rewind" button in the address bar.

Specifically, what happens when you rewind is that you go back to one of these points in your history, whichever is latest:

  • The last page you visited on a server, if you have left the server
  • The first page you visited on a server
Suppose that you have a browsing history like the following:
  1. www.opera.com
  2. www.opera.com/about
  3. www.opera.com/download
  4. www.opera.com/mini
  5. widgets.opera.com
  6. widgets.opera.com/yetanthetclock42
  7. widgets.opera.com/yetanthetclock43
  8. widgets.opera.com/yetanthetclock44
  9. mini.opera.com
Rewinding will then take you back through the URLs that are emphasized in the above list.

Tip: If you find Rewind useful, Fast Forward will let you quickly navigate to the next page of the site you are visiting.
